Document Summary

You have to be careful who you pick. We are not free to select the person we want to marry. Endogamy: pressure on us to marry someone within our social group. Exogamy: to marry someone outside of the family group. Mate selection: (1) cultural factors. (2) sociological factors: race, religion, age, physical appearance, etc. People tend to select people of similar physical appearance there is homogamy in mate selection. Marry someone just like you - same education, religion, etc. (3) psychological factors: complementary needs (opposites attract. ) Data says: marrying someone just likes you is usually a stable long-term relationship. (4) exchange theory: rewards and cost. Everybody brings to the table plus and minuses. Rewards: good lover, provider, etc. cost: parents don"t like them, drug addict, abusive, etc. We are driven by profits and loss in relationships. Undesirable traits in a person: if they"re controlling what you wear, what you do.
