Understanding the Links Between Social Support and Physical Health: A Life-Span Perspective With Emphasis on the Separability of Perceived and Received Support (2009, background): “Researchers have found that equity between received and provided support (i.e., under- or overbenefitting) may be important in considering the overall links between received support and various outcomes (Gleason et al., 2003; Sprecher, 2001), which is consistent with a contextual approach.”
Theory in Progress: Dyadic Power Theory: Constructing a Communication-Based Theory of Relational Power (2004, background): “…to be one source of power in families, building on the social exchange (i.e., Molm, 1981, 1994; Thibaut & Kelley, 1959), interdependence (i.e., Rusbult & Arriaga, 1997), equity (i.e., Sprecher, 2001; Walster, Walster, & Berscheid, 1978), and normative resource traditions (Blood & Woolfe, 1960).”
Profiles and Correlates of Relational Aggression in Young Adults’ Romantic Relationships (2008, background): “Although many romantic partnerships formed during emerging adulthood eventually dissolve (Hill et al. 1976; Sprecher 2001 ), patterns of interaction learned in these unions may have implications for interaction in subsequent relationships as well.”

The Evolution of Morality (2015, result): “Sprecher (2001) reported similar findings on dating couples, and Greenberg (1980) found that people are motivated to avoid becoming “indebted” to others.”
Equity and uncertainty in relational maintenance (2003, result): “Consistent with this theoretical proposal, previous research has established that equity is positively associated with relational satisfaction (Sprecher, 2001b; Van Yperen & Buunk, 1990).”
Optimizing assurance: the risk regulation system in relationships. (2006, background): “Conversely, when romantic partners conclude that their contributions to the relationship are unequal, they report less satisfaction and commitment (Hill, Rubin, & Peplau, 1976; Sprecher, 1988, 2001).7”
The Use of Negative Behaviors to Maintain Relationships (2008, background): “Although original formulations of equity theory suggest that both forms of inequity (i.e., being under-benefited or being over-benefited) should be related to relational distress, a host of studies have indicated that this might not be the case (e.g., Sprecher, 1986, 2001).”
