Fairness in Beziehungen

  • Chapter
Sozialpsychologie der Partnerschaft

Zusammenfassung

Was hat Fairness mît sozialen Beziehungen zu tun? Warum ist Fairness auch für Partnerschaften relevant? Schließlich sollten Partnerschaften zumindest nach dem 'omantischen Ideal durch Liebe und Zuneigung gekennzeichnet sein. Sind Menschen, die ihre Partnerschaft als fair erleben, zufriedener als diejenigen, die Unfairness erleben? Diese Fragen sollen versucht werden in diesem Kapitel aus sozialpsychologischer Perspektive zu beantworten. Dabei füdet insbesondere die Equity-Theorie, nach der die Qualität von Beziehungen von der Ausgewogenheit des Gebens und Nehmens abhängt, Berücksichtigung. Zunächst wird erörtert, warum die Ausgewogenheit des Gebens und Nehmens überhaupt für die Qualität von sozialen Beziehungen von Bedeutung ist. Im Weiteren liegt der Fokus auf der Ausgewogenheit in intimen Beziehungen und dabei insbesondere auf Partnerschaften. Abschließend wird mit der Aufteilung der Hausarbeit ein besonderer Bereich der Fairness angesprochen, da es hier um die Aufteilung von alltäglichen Pflichten geht, die auch heute immer noch überwiegend von Frauen übernommen werden.
