supporting study- Hatfeild et al (1979)
- 2000 couples
deprived under benefited had extra martial affairs sooner than the ones over benefited
- this experiment is the counter example  to the hypothesis of the theory
- despite the empirical support from the theory the study is criticised for failing to take into account the consideration of emotions
- however this study helped in explaining what causes infidelity amongst marriages
- this study is biased because of possible lack of cross cultural validity- behavior is more likely to be individualistic than cultural collectivist
- not replicable because it is difficult to quantify costs and rewards in order to test the theory carefully

Stage 1 - Breakdown
A partner realises that they aren't happy with the relationship. This could be various reasons such as  Boredom, Communication, Inequity, lack of skills, stimulation and maintenance.
Stage 2 - Intra-psychic phase

Strengths:
-simple
-When a person becomes knowledgeable of this theory, he or she can work towards having more balanced relationships
- provide awareness of what one’s own costs are to other people
Limitations:
- helps to explain many family issues, such as a failed marriage
- Some people might view the theory’s mathematical model as a heartless, generalized method for interpreting human interaction
- assumes that individuals are selfish and are ready to terminate relationships where the costs outweigh the benefits
- assumes that the ultimate goal of a relationship is intimacy when this might not always be the case
