The Four Elementary Forms of Sociality: Framework for a Unified Theory of Social Relations.
Fiske, Alan Page
Psychological Review, v99 n4 p689-723 Oct 1992
A theory is presented that postulates that people in all cultures use four relational models to generate most kinds of social interaction, evaluation, and affect. Ethnographic and field studies (n=19) have supported cultural variations on communal sharing; authority ranking; equality matching; and market pricing. (SLD)
