Title: Social Exchange Theory and Attachment Theory: Combination of Sociological and Psychological approaches to form a bio-psychosocial viewpoint to human social and interpersonal relationships
Abstract: Human social life is mostly known by its communicative characteristic which is addressed as social relations. Nowadays a wide range of theories are concerned with explanation of such characteristic from various approaches. Authors and theorists of two major domains of social sciences, sociology and psychology, have tried to describe, explain and anticipate human interactions and behaviors in the context of social life within social relations. From sociological point of view, the dominant theory of explaining social relations, up to date, is The Social Exchange theory (SET). In psychological approaches, Attachment Theory has concerned with formation, development, and evolution of social relations in ontogenic and phylogenic aspects of human life. Each of these two theories has tried to describe specific dimensions of social relations. This paper tries to show that these two theories altogether can cover bio-psychosocial aspects of human social and interpersonal relations.
