What are potential limitations of social exchange theory?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Ideas might include that this theory takes an economic model approach to
relational development, and while the theory makes intuitive sense, it is less easy to assess a
relationship based solely on costs and rewards. The theory looks at the members of the relationship
and how they create costs and rewards within the relationship; however, it does not include the
potential for external forces and people in the assessment of costs and rewards.
