Document Summary

Groups will generally reward members who treat others equally and generally punish members who treat other inequitably: 2. When individuals find themselves participating in inequitable relationships, they will become distressed. The more inequitable the relationship, the more distress individuals will feel: 3. Individuals who discover they are in an inequitable relationship will attempt to eliminate their distress by restoring equity. The greater in equity that exists, the more distress they will feel, and the harder they will try to restore equity. Psychological reactance theory: we like people we cannot have, due to internal (playing hard to get) and external (parent disapproves of partner, or distance) barriers. Getting a date: easier to find a date due to social networking, younger individuals may feel they should meet someone in person, older individuals may not be technologically savvy enough to use a dating site.
