Preferred term

rewards and costs in relationships  

Definition

  • Among general social-psychological theories that have been applied to social and personal relationship processes, reinforcement-based theories have been most explicit in addressing rewards and costs in relationships. Reinforcement-based theories owe a considerable debt to B. F. Skinner's operant reinforcement theory, which emphasizes the impact of the physical and social environments on individuals' behavior.
