Ellen and Grace have an equitable relationship. Describe what that would be like, and what would be some consequences of relationship inequities

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: An equitable relationship is one in which the rewards one partner receives, the costs one partner incurs, and the contributions one partner makes to the relationship are comparable to the costs, rewards, and contributions of the other person in the relationship. In an inequitable relationship, both partners feel discomfort and are motivated to restore equity to the relationship. Partners who overbenefit violate the equity norm, feel uncomfortable, and may eventually even feel guilty. Partners who underbenefit are likely to feel cheated or frustrated.
