Resource Theory

This volume serves as an update on current developments in resource theory and presents a representative sample of contemporary research conducted within this theoretical perspective. "Resource Theory" presents empirical evidence supporting the cross-cultural validity of this framework. Attention is focused on a broad range of social-psychological phenomena that have been fruitfully explored using this theoretical approach. Key features include social exchange theory, cross-cultural theory and social relationships.
