Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates how exchange orientation, which is the expectation of reciprocation in relationships, affects long-term relationship satisfaction, finding that it generally declines over time and that slower declines in this trait are linked to steeper drops in satisfaction.
  • It also shows that increases in exchange orientation within individuals tend to predict future decreases in their relationship happiness, indicating a negative impact of maintaining or rising exchange expectations over time.
  • The research found no evidence that partner similarity in exchange orientation influences relationship outcomes, emphasizing that individual changes in exchange orientation, rather than partner matching, are key to understanding relationship quality over the long term.
