Limitation - Oversimplifies investment
Model
oversimplifies
investment in a
one-dimentional
way
Researchers point out there is more to invest than the resources you have
already put
into a relationship
In early stages, partners will have made
very few
actual investments
Model extended by including investments partners make in their
future plans
Motivated to commit because they want to see plans for the
future
turn out
= Model limited, fails to account for true
complexity
of investment, esp how planning for future influences commitment
Strength - explains abusive relationships
Why does any rational person subjected to
abuse
stay in their relationship
Researchers
studied
domestically
abused women at a shelter
Found that the most likely to return to an abusive partner reported having made the greatest investment & having the fewest
attractive
alternatives
These women were dissatisfied with their rs but still committed
= model shows satisfaction on its own doesn’t explain why people stay in rs, commitment & investment also play a part
Strength - research support
Support by
meta-analysis
Review of
52
studies, late 70s to 90s
11,000
ppts from 5
countries
Found that satisfaction, comparison with alternatives, and investment size all predicted rs
commitment
Rs in which commitment was greatest were most stable & lasted the longest
True for men & women, across cultures, & for homo and
heterosexual
rs
= validity in rusbults claim that these factors are universally important features of romantic relationship
