It states that communal deeds are consequences of transaction processes. And the motive behind the transaction is to maximize benefits and minimize costs. According to this theory, people weigh the dangers and rewards of a particular theory. If the rewards of a relationship is more than that of dangers, they continue to keep the relationship intact. But if the case is otherwise, i.e. if dangers are more than that of rewards, people terminate the relationship. This theory also suggests that we tend to find out the worth of a particular connection by weight the benefits and costs associated with the connection. When the benefits of a connection outweigh the costs associated with it then we form an affirmative connection, and when the prices are larger than the benefits it transpires as a negative
