Social Exchange Theory

Social Exchange Theory

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).

Social Traps

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Network Covalent Solids

Network Covalent Solids

Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Relationship Formation

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Social Loafing

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Horney's Sociocultural Approach

Horney's Sociocultural Approach

Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

Area of Science:

Higher Education
Neuroscience
Sociology of Science

Background:

Professional networks are crucial for faculty success in higher education.
Previous research on marginalized faculty networks used a deficit model, focusing on exclusion.
This study shifts focus to how networks form within supportive counterspaces.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine how professional network ties form within counterspaces for marginalized faculty.
To understand the role of shared values in network formation.
To assess the impact of counterspace-based networking on broader networking approaches.

Main Methods:

Qualitative interviews with participants in the Broadening the Representation of Academic Investigators in NeuroScience (BRAINS) program.
Analysis of interactions and relationship-building within the BRAINS counterspace.

Main Results:

Interactions within the BRAINS counterspace fostered recognition of shared values (DEI).
Shared values facilitated the formation of trusting network ties among participants.
Developing these network ties positively influenced participants' understanding and approach to networking.

Conclusions:

Counterspaces can be effective settings for building professional networks among marginalized faculty.
Shared values and trust are key components in network formation within these spaces.
Experiences in counterspaces can enhance faculty's overall networking capabilities and strategies.
