Editing Social exchange theory (section)

== Thibaut and Kelley ==
Thibaut and Kelley based their theory on small groups related with dyadic relationships. They used the reward-cost matrices from [[game theory]] and discovered some clues of individuals' interdependence such as the power of a party over each other, also known as the "correspondence" versus "noncorrespondence" of outcomes. Additionally, they suggest that an individual can unilaterally affect her or his own outcomes in a relationship through chosen behaviors. They could predict the possible course of a social interaction through the analysis of aspects of power in an encounter. They also experimented on how the outcomes received in a relationship could define a person's attractions to relationships.<ref name=":0" />
