When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

Social Exchange Theory

40.8K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

  • Examination of proposed amendments to the Affordable Care Act.

    • Main Results:

    • The House of Representatives postponed a vote on legislation that would have weakened the ACA.
    • New provisions targeting the essential benefits guarantee did not garner sufficient support.
    • Opposition from right-wing Republicans was a significant factor in the postponement.

    Conclusions:

    • Political divisions, particularly among Republicans, have stalled efforts to alter key ACA provisions.
    • The essential benefits guarantee remains intact due to a lack of consensus.
    • Future legislative efforts regarding the ACA may face similar challenges due to ideological disagreements on subsidized insurance.
