| Summary: | Like most actors, "mission actors" are exchange-seeking individuals. The position a mission actor holds within any particular mission structure determines the power the mission actor possesses. Generally, high power mission actors will benefit more than low power mission actors when sanctions are administered in a mission exchange. The present study elaborates how Elementary Theory models these exchange relations between social actors. Though not generally considered, exchange relations exist in mission structures. Hence, Elementary Theory can model and clarify relations in mission groups. The findings of this study include an explanation of how the administration and reception of sanctions determine the power in a given social and mission relation. The primary data utilized here comes from a zero-positive sanction exchange modeled by Project 52, a mission based in North Georgia that helps families and individuals with limited resources clean up their property and avoid eviction. |
