In discussing the challenges of domestic violence, we used exchange theory to address why
many women stay in an abusive relationship. From an exchange theory perspective, they would
only stay if the rewards outweighed the costs. Please list and describe three potential
REWARDS of staying from the woman's perspective. - ✔✔1. financially she is more secure
she would be without her significant other. If she leaves, her income may be cut in half or even
become non-exhistant.
, 2. She loves her abuser. At one point she was convinced that her significant other loved her and
perhaps is still convinced he does. If she stays there is a reward to feel that love from him again.
3. She gets to keep her family together. If she stays with him, that means she does not have to
break up her family.
List the three stages of the cycle of violence and list two of the three characteristics of the
cycle. - ✔✔Build up/Tension: 1. When the victim is walking on eggshells afraid of the next

Violence/attack: 1. a crime has been committed. 2. "the last straw" is drawn that justifies the
abuse from the attacker. Also the violent attack intensifies with each cycle.
Honeymoon: 1. The attacker promises it won't happen again and makes and effort to be better.
2 With each cycle the honeymoon phase become shorter and shorter.
