A Theory and Investigation of the Effect of Exchange-Orientation on Marriage and Friendship

Murstein, Bernard I.; And Others

Journal of Marriage and the Family, 39, 3, 543-548, Aug 77

It was hypothesized from this theory that an exchange-orientation in both members of the pair would be inimical to marriage adjustment and facilitative of situationally determined friendships. The data generally support the hypothesis. (Author)
