The idea that self-interest underlies all human interactions is called the cost-benefit analysis by accountants, utilitarianism by philosophers, and by social psychologists. attribution theory social exchange theory cognitive dissonance theory the two-factor theory of emotion

social exchange theory

Explanation:

The social exchange theory suggests that we all interpret and rate all human interaction on the basis of the reward (benefits) and disadvantages or problems (cost) that we can get from them. This is both conscious and subconscious. On the basis of this benefits and cost analysis, we decide to whether continue the interaction or repeat it in future or to stop interacting with that person. Cost-benefit analysis also focuses on similar concept but in financial regards.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
