Economics of group membership
Social exchange theory
R = relation / group membership
Taken in (re) consideration
CL = Comparison level
What can you expect from R?
CLalt = comparison level of alternatives
What can you expect from the available alternatives? (also no group)
, (dis)satisfied and (in)dependent
You can either be satisfied or dissatisfied from your group, and dependent or independent
1) Satisfied and dependent
- Stay with R
- Positive
- Alternative would be negative (would be worse off)
- Stable
2) Satisfied and independent
- Possibly break with R ---> transition costs?
- Positive, but alternative is even more positive
3) Dissatisfied and dependent
- Not satisfied, but alternatives are even worse
- Negative
- Might adjust comparison level?
4) Dissatisfied and independent
- Break with R
- Negative
- Alternative is way more attractive
- Transition costs?
- Stable
