Abstract
This paper continues the investigation of the relationship between exchange theory and symbolic interactionism which was initially stated by Singelmann (1972). He suggested a convergence of the two perspectives in which exchange was subsumed as symbolic interaction. The present work finds this general statement of convergence unacceptable because: (1) it ignores the substantively distinct variants of exchange theory; (2) it does not take into account the assumptions upon which the two perspectives are built; and (3) it assumes limitations in exchange and not symbolic interaction. Investigation along these three points reveals that reinforcement exchange is distinct from symbolic interactionism because of metatheoretical assumptions each makes concerning the human condition such as questions of rationality, social reality, and social order. While reinforcement exchange suggests synthesis, Blau's social exchange theory articulates this by modifying the exchange perspective using certain of the assumptions of symbolic interactionism.
