Abstract

Embeddedness theory and relational work theory propose that people in close social relations naturally have better information about partners, which helps safeguard and optimize their relationships. Yet, researchers have noted that despite access to better information, broken trust still occurs. Why? We identify two factors that systematically keep access to information from working as anticipated: detection errors, which prevent people from effectively accessing and processing information, and associational dilemmas, which hinder using the information to report and punish deception. We also consider how relational work can sustain or amplify these factors and foster relational matches that give the false impression of being based on shared meanings and understandings. For example, detection errors and associational dilemmas can place victims into illusory solidarity where, despite appearing close, they are stuck with opportunistic partners.

Et Tu, Brute?揭开亲密关系中欺骗和信任破裂的谜团

嵌入性理论和关系工作理论认为，处于密切社会关系中的人自然会获得更好的伴侣信息，这有助于保护和优化他们的关系。然而，研究人员注意到，尽管可以获得更好的信息，但破坏信任的情况仍然存在。为什么？我们确定了两个系统性地阻碍信息访问按预期进行的因素：检测错误，阻碍人们有效访问和处理信息；联想困境，阻碍利用信息报告和惩罚欺骗行为。我们还考虑了关系工作如何维持或扩大这些因素，并促进关系匹配，从而给人一种基于共同意义和理解的错误印象。例如，检测错误和联想困境可能会让受害者陷入虚幻的团结，尽管他们看起来很亲密，但却与机会主义的伴侣纠缠在一起。

期刊介绍： Originating in the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE), Socio-Economic Review (SER) is part of a broader movement in the social sciences for the rediscovery of the socio-political foundations of the economy. Devoted to the advancement of socio-economics, it deals with the analytical, political and moral questions arising at the intersection between economy and society. Articles in SER explore how the economy is or should be governed by social relations, institutional rules, political decisions, and cultural values. They also consider how the economy in turn affects the society of which it is part, for example by breaking up old institutional forms and giving rise to new ones. The domain of the journal is deliberately broadly conceived, so new variations to its general theme may be discovered and editors can learn from the papers that readers submit. To enhance international dialogue, Socio-Economic Review accepts the submission of translated articles that are simultaneously published in a language other than English. In pursuit of its program, SER is eager to promote interdisciplinary dialogue between sociology, economics, political science and moral philosophy, through both empirical and theoretical work. Empirical papers may be qualitative as well as quantitative, and theoretical papers will not be confined to deductive model-building. Papers suggestive of more generalizable insights into the economy as a domain of social action will be preferred over narrowly specialized work. While firmly committed to the highest standards of scholarly excellence, Socio-Economic Review encourages discussion of the practical and ethical dimensions of economic action, with the intention to contribute to both the advancement of social science and the building of a good economy in a good society.
