Important Concepts:
•Person (individual who perceives equity/inequity)
•Comparison other (group or person used as referent to compare input/outcome ratio)
•Inputs (what the person contributes to the exchange relationship: e.g, effort, skills, knowledge, performance)
•Outcomes (what the person receives back from the exchange relationship)

Strategies to restore fair exchange:
•Less input (e.g. work less)
•Demand more outcomes (e.g., higher pay)
•Leave exchange relationship
•Do not change behaviour, but perception (e.g., they really work harder than I am)
•Choose different comparison other
