social exchange theory is a scientific, a special approach based on the concept of sotsvzaimodeystviya, which refers to the following process: each participant will be able to benefit from the results of the actions of all participants in the dialogue.
emphasis will be on the commission of those acts that bring significant benefits.It can act both as a financial reward and intangible.In addition, part of the participants of this process, the benefit of choosing the symbolic - a sign of respect and prestige, and other positive emotions.
social exchange theory highlights features of motivation of the people who do things that are useful to others.The fact that the explanation lies in the presence of expectations of sustainable idea that their actions are in response to receive a substantial benefit from the actions of another person.
Therefore, the concept of social exchange argues that the basis of inter-individual interaction is necessary that the participants expect the confirmation of expectations.As a result, fixed behavioral pattern, social reflex that links in the minds of each individual system of certain actions as the ratio of "stimulus - response".
model for researchers who adhere to this concept was the theory of social exchange Homans, its founder, the prominent American sociologist.
In his main work, he was able to identify the following provisions and laws that explain the behavior of a private fact that everyone wants to maintain its social exchange.
Firstly, the more often a specific human action is rewarded, the more he or she tends to perform this action.
Secondly, if some stimulus led to concrete actions that rewarded, when he repeated the individual will try to repeat this chain of actions.
Third, the most valuable result of human actions will help to ensure that he will try to perform any act aimed at achieving this result.
Fourth, more often in the past, the individual received any remuneration, the less important will be a repetition of it.
Fifth, if the individual did not receive the expected reward for himself, then he will seek to show pointedly aggressive behavior, but the result of it will be the most valuable, than the remuneration that is received.However, on receipt of remuneration sverhozhidaemogo, people will tend to make demonstratively loyal behavior, the result of which will be very attractive.
social exchange theory argues that because all individuals will seek to maintain and renew the interaction benefit them, and avoid negative interactions, that will form a stable interpersonal communication, which constitute the structure of the exchange.
They are formed on the basis of direct (bilateral), or the direct exchange.In addition, the availability of different options mediated or generalized exchange.
more detail it can be considered an example of the learning process.Thus, it is advantageous for students to gain knowledge and skills in the classroom, and the teacher gets benefit in recognition of its status and self-affirmation.This - the direct social exchange.
If we talk about indirect exchange, it should be noted that the work for which the teacher receives a salary paid by the students.It does not matter, we are talking about budget financing, or about training on a contractual basis.
In general, the theory of social exchange covers all without exception spheres of human interaction.
