Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Social Exchange theory, individuals seek relationships in which the rewards outweigh the costs. While Terri offers more rewards in terms of extravagant trips, the fact that Lee often travels for work for long periods of time may lead to a higher cost in terms of a lack of companionship. On the other hand, Joe offers less rewards in terms of extravagant trips but provides more companionship through shared activities. Therefore, Lee is likely to choose Joe as a partner who can provide loving companionship, even though he may not offer the same level of financial benefits.
