Answer to Question 1

Answer: The three styles are secure, anxious/ambivalent, and avoidant. People with a secure attachment style tend to find it easy to get close to others and trust others. They do not worry about being abandoned or about others getting too close. They would be the best relationship partner to have.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Social exchange theory proposes that people's feelings about their relationships depends on their perceptions of the rewards and costs of their relationship. In operant conditioning, reinforcements increase the likelihood of responding and punishments decrease the likelihood of responding. Therefore, rewards in relationships are similar to reinforcements. Getting a smile from a partner or a gift is a reward, and it also increases the likelihood of doing the behavior again, so it's reinforcement. However, getting yelled at by a partner or getting the silent treatment from a partner decreases the likelihood of doing that behavior again, so is a punishment. One main difference between the two is that social exchange theory has a standard on which partners base their expectations known as the comparison level. This is the minimum acceptable rewards and costs in a relationship.
