Understand How The Disentanglement Process works with exchange theory - Answer-
do the rewards offset the cost?
Blau exchange theory and how it relates to violence in families - Answer--Whoever has
the resources = the power (abuser has resources- financial, intellectual, communicative)
-Fewer alternative sources a person has, more compliance expected
-I.e. when abuser cuts off abuse from other relationships
-Less those receiving valuable resources from someone can employ physical
force/coercion, the more those providing services can extract compliance
-Less those receiving valuable services can do without them, the more those providing
the services can expect compliance
why do victims of violence stay? - Answer-· Victim thinks suffering is due to her
shortcomings
· Feels helpless- nothing will help
· Feels guilty about some of things she did wrong
· Blames herself
· Lack of financial resources
· Batterer cuts victim off from outside relationships- abuser gains more control
· Negative responses from community
· Unable to use current resources because of how they were provided (i.e total control
of checking account)
· Batter started doing some things she asked for
· Fear of partner retaliating
· Needs time to plan/prepare to leave
· Feels insecure about her competency (because of abuse)
· If she stays, she at least knows what to expect; sense of control
Fear of being alone
Homan's Propositions (Success Proposition) - Answer--more someone is rewarded for
their action, the more likely they are to perform it.
(Dog gets treat for trick. More likely to do trick again)
Homans Propositions (Stimulus Proposition): - Answer-If I have been rewarded in the
past with something, then the more the present reward is like the past one, the more
likely I am to do it.
(try a chocolate brownie- reward of good taste then I see chocolate cake so I am likely
to eat that)
