| Question | Answer |
| Relationships break down for a number of reasons which we have considered from the | opposite perspective when looking at relationship maintenance. |
| According to social exchange theory, relationships may break down if | a person feels the relationship is costing them more than it is |
| rewarding them. Furthermore we are constantly checking our | comparison level/ cl for alternatives which may lead to dissatisfaction with a |
| relationship and subsequent | breakdown |
| According to equity theory, relationship breakdown may occur as a result of perceived | inequity, creating |
| distress and dissatisfaction. | These theories can therefore be described and evaluated when |
| a question asks about relationship breakdown, but the most important thing is | to relate them directly to relationship breakdown , rather than maintenance. |
