Examples of Social Exchange Theory in the following topics:
-
- Social exchange theory applies this type of equation to social relationships.
- Nevertheless, social exchange theory argues that forming relationships is advantageous because of exchange.
- Social exchange theory is only comprehensible through the lens of rational choice theory.
- Several assumptions undergird social exchange theory.
- Explain how social exchange theory is based upon rational choice theory
-
- In the most simple of terms, economies consist of producing goods and exchanging them; they are fundamentally social systems.
- In the most simple of terms, economies consist of producing goods and exchanging them.
- Economies are fundamentally social systems.
- Capitalism functions in distinction from socialism, or various theories of economic organization that advocate public or direct worker ownership and administration of the means of production.
- Informal economic activity is a dynamic process which includes many aspects of economic and social theory: exchange, regulation, and enforcement.

- Economic sociology is the study of the social causes and social effects of various economic phenomena.
- Economic sociology is the study of the social causes and social effects of various economic phenomena.
- Contemporary economic sociology emphasizes the social consequences of economic exchanges, the social meanings they involve, and the social interactions that they facilitate or obstruct.
- In some cases, contemporary economic sociology borrows mathematical tools and economic theories such as utility maximization and game theory.
- Some economic sociologists provide a social explanation to questions traditionally addressed by economists.
-
- Describe how and why political opportunities are important to social movements according to political opportunity theory.
-
- The basic notion of symbolic interactionism is that human action and interaction are understandable only through the exchange of meaningful communication or symbols.
- Symbolic Interaction arose through the integration of Structural Functionalism and Conflict Theories.
- Specifically, Symbolic Interaction seeks to uncover the ways "meanings" are deployed within interactions and embedded within larger social structures to facilitate social cohesion (Structural Functionalism) and social change (Conflict Theories).
- On the other hand, if people believe (or are taught to believe) that education transmits social inequalities from generation to generation (e.g., Conflict Theory), then they will be more likely to attempt to change this structure over time.
- They thus argue that society is always an ongoing information exchange between individuals, groups, and social structures that each depend on the other for their meaning and by extension their existence and survival.
-
- Some scholars use world systems theory.
- World systems theory stresses that the world system (not nation states) should be the basic unit of social analysis.
- Other approaches that fall under world systems theory include dependency theory and neocolonialism.
- The top-down approach is not only used to study the global economy, but also social norms.
- According to dependency theory, unequal exchange results in the unequal status of countries.
-
- Social theories draw the connections between seemingly disparate concepts in order to help us understand the world around us.
- Sociologists develop theories to explain social phenomena.
- Durkheim argued that the looser social ties found in Protestant religions lead to weaker social cohesion and reduced social solidarity.
- These theories are prominent because they are quite good at explaining social life.
- In short, all of the theories are correct in the sense that they offer compelling explanations for social phenomena.
-
- In the most common social network data set of actor-by-actor ties, only one kind of relation is described.
- When we collect social network data about certain kinds of relations among actors we are, in a sense, sampling from a population of possible relations.
- Usually our research question and theory indicate which of the kinds of relations among actors are the most relevant to our study, and we do not sample -- but rather select -- relations.
- Systems theory, for example, suggests two domains: material and informational.
- In a sense, the commonality that is shared by the exchange of information may also be said to establish a tie between two nodes.
