 * With this article I plan to update the section entitled interracial marriage. This topic needs more sources to support its involvement in the social exchange theory as well as in-depth look at interracial marriage as a whole. The current information uses a source that discusses black/white interracial marriage, which is common in the US but not the only type of interracial marriage that occurs. The other source is current but could more information to back up it claims.

Applications
In the subsections on interracial marriage and citizenship behavior I would like to add more information on them.

I would like to up date a few of the outdated resources in the section as well.

New Section
I would like to add another section relating social exchange theory to aging under the applications section.

Interracial Marriage
The social exchange theory has been used to explain patterns within interracial marriage. Recent changes have seen an increase in black female marrying white men and a decrease in raw prevalence of interracial marriages when it comes to black females

Citizenship Behavior
Citizenship behavior can also be shown with employees and their employers.This is shown through organizational identification which plays an important role in organizational citizenship behavior. An employees identification with their employer plays a significant role in supporting and promoting organized citizenship behavior, serving as a mediating mechanism with citizenship behaviors, perceived organizational justice, and organizational support based on both the social exchange and social identity theory.

Aging
The basis of social exchange theory is to explain social change and stability as a process of negotiate exchanges between parties. These changes can occur over a person's life course through the various relationships, opportunities and means of support. An example of this is the convoy model of support, this model uses concentric circles to describe relationships around an individual with the strongest relationships in the closet circle. As a person ages these relationships form a convoy that moves along with the person and exchanges in support and assistance through different circumstances that occur. It also changes through the directionality of support given to and by the individual with the people within their support network. Within this model there are different types of support (Social support) a person can receive, those being intangible, tangible, instrumental, and informational. Intangible support can either be social or emotional and can be love, friendship and appreciation that comes with valuable relationships. Tangible support are physical gifts given to someone such as land, gifts, money, transportation, food, and completing chores. Instrumental support are services given to someone in a relationship. Finally, informational support is the delivering of information that is helpful to an individual.
