my name is Eric Benson thank you for your viewing my

presentation on social exchange theory is

we'll be looking at some alternative perspectives and

and possible uses for report systems

within so slick seems theory a.m.

so for stuff we will

will begin by addressing some of the criticisms

so social exchange theory

assumes that people are rational and their core that they will make

decisions that will best benefit them in the future

um the problem with that is is

that its media this no we often make decisions that are not in our

self-interest or

kin in fact be detrimental to a

tour will be so

this dis is a pretty valid criticism

it also assumes it it that

it has difficulty explaining so actions such as

outward altruism or or any kind of selfless

kinds of actions because arm

social exchange theory talks to us

about um there we don't act unless we feel like we're going to get

benefit or ward um

in in if we r acting a

altruism then then by definition where

not really seeking decorative reward

it also values

a it also seems to value selfishness

over selflessness again this goes back to you

the idea altruism um there also is a

personal bias that that eats her purse perceptions have certain situations

so um going any he

into any interaction with another individual

or relationship we're always looking at that relationship

with the a concept love

what are we going to get out of it or how are we get a bit benefit from this

particular relationship

from in it also love the criticisms is that it's limited to you

i'd take relationships which are basically just relationships where like

a a buyer-seller relationship or

or relationships that are

just between two people in nature um

so so what I wanted to

to talk about nine I didn't see

a whole lot of research in this particular area

but um if we start to look at your words not only is coming from

the other person or from the individual but internally within ourselves then we

can start to see

that the the reasons why we're doing

things is still based on a reward punishment

and give situation um they're also actions that

armored intrinsically rewarding love themselves so

we get the ward just simply by doing the action

um so for instance if we r

see to speeding in maybe a food bank

and and we are helping out

a either

giving food or a.m. were helping setting up for

anyway that were not this yearly getting heat for these things

then the reward really comes from

from within ourselves also

maybe a perceived social status that we

can feel like that weird

better standing so sleepy with our peers ur or people we interact with

we also can gain sensitive personal integrity so

by doing these things we can't say

that the war would be

dead I i've reinforced the sense of my soul third

I'm a good person and I do these things and and

I'm a compassionate person to help people out in that

that is reward because it makes me feel good or

because a a

I a appreciate more who I am after doing these things

so in that sense it kind of takes away some of the selfless selfish and self

a selfishness that

so slick steam exchange theory seems to have

so a.m. when the things that

who that social exchange theory mentions is that

overtime is a word is giving and

for specific action Lake CA I mow the lawn

and I get paid a certain amount for that well

over time the are you love mowing the lawn

action that reward is not going to be

North by its gonna lose its value over time

so one of the things that

that we could talk about is reward schedules

so they're four different kinds are forward schedules

which are basically the timings have win awards are

so when would be a continuous awards so every time

you do a particular action

then you will receive a specific were

reward every single time you do that action

and it's not based on a time

or or anything does other than

do action game work the next would be a fixed ratio

word so it would be Lake

if you

if you get get the reward for maybe every other time that you do the action

or every fifth time

that you do the action flexes instead of saying

dead I'm I'm going to get paid for mowing the line

every time lawn I'm gonna get paid

every other time over every three times that I mow the lawn and that would be an

example

fix reach your word fixed interval

forward E is with your word

combs at a fixed

time Lake CA

every Friday no matter what you do during the week

this is they win the award is given so you do the actions during the week

admits the rewards good Friday a paycheck would be

a a good example

have a fixed it forward occurs we work

and then we get paid on specific days so

in the last war type would be the variable

your with the variable word

on there's no guarantee there or be given

and there's no it's not it fixed ratio its own to fix

interval it's not every time

so really good example this kind of award

would-be the slot machines

so slot machine you put your money in you pull the lever

then miss at the time we don't get anything

or a.m. you pull the lever is

maybe you get a few koreans or if you're really lucky you might

you might hit the jackpot get a lot of money so

that would be you really good example love

fearful word so 18 years that could be used

in an educational setting would be to you

a.m. use for words as a

with completing assignments and then incentive saying

you know earning tickets leads and have some teachers we use

tickets for good behavior or you're being there on time or for any number of

things and then making supportive

a at a specific time like

spin the tickets on

on like a prize box

so instead of doing that it would be. get to take eight you can get a turn in

the ticket

maybe there could be like kind of a slot machine or something like that

in in the classroom day word they get to spin a wheel

and there's a chance they could get something there's a good chance they can

get nothing but

by by a.m.

by doing this you can kind of make the the exchange little more interesting

and it helps to diminish the a.m.

the the effects of having the

a word the reward lose its value

overtime so there's some ideas

how you could use

reward system that would be related to social exchange theory

within your classroom
