+supporting evidence
Pschologist-survey of 118 married couples (Aged 16-45) Equity in relationships assessed via self report scale
Partners who though their relationship as equitable were significantly more satisfied
-not applicable to all cultures
Psychologist-couples In individualistic cultures were more satisfied when relationship was equitable
Collectivist cultures more satisfied when overbenefitting
-does not account for individual differences in how much partners value equity in their relationships
Psychologists-two types of ppl:
benevolent=Willing to contribute more than they receive
Entitleds=deserve to over benefit and accept it with no guilt/distress
-gender biased
Women may be more sensitive to inequity due to stronger focus on relationship Dynamics(emotions)
