That it is not only self interest that is the outcome of personal cost benefit analysis but it is also the idea of shared interests. That the key idea of utility needs to be defined not only as material utility but also as experienced utility, these expansions to classical rational choice theory could then begin to remove the weakness in regards to morals of the agents which it aims to interoperate their actions.

A downfall of rational choice theory in a political sense, is that is the pursuit of individual goals can lead to collectively irrational outcomes. This problem of collective action can disincentivise people to vote. Even though a group of people may have common interests, they also have conflicting ones that cause misalignment within the group and therefore an outcome that does not benefit the group as a whole as people want to pursue their own individual interests.

This problem is rooted in Rational Choice theory because of the theories emphasis on the rational agents performing their own cost-benefit analysis to maximize their self-interests. This means the benefit of the economic growth outweighs the cost of pollution, according to the theory of Rational Choice.

Making the outcome of a rational choice, a collectively irrational outcome. Rational choice theory has become one of the major approaches in the study of international relations.

Its proponents typically assume that states are the key actors in world politics and that they seek goals such as power, security, or wealth. Subsequently Rational choice theory can be applied to policy issues ranging from international trade and international cooperation to sanctions, arms competition, nuclear deterrence, and war. For example, some scholars have examined how states can make credible threats to deter other states from a nuclear attack.

Rational Choice Theory and Social exchange theory involves looking at all social relations in the form of costs and rewards, both tangible and non tangible. According to Abell, Rational Choice Theory is “understanding individual actors Individuals are often highly motivated by their wants and needs.

By making calculative decisions, it is considered as rational action. Individuals are often making calculative decisions in social situations by weighing out the pros and cons of an action taken towards a person. The decision to act on a rational decision is also dependent on the unforeseen benefits of the friendship. Homan mentions that actions of humans are motivated by punishment or rewards. This reinforcement through punishments or rewards determines the course of action taken by a person in a social situation as well.

Individuals are motivated by mutual reinforcement and are also fundamentally motivated by the approval of others. In Economic exchanges, it involves the exchange of goods or services. In Social exchange, it is the exchange of approval and certain other valued behaviors. Rational Choice Theory in this instance, heavily emphasizes the individual’s interest as a starting point for making social decisions. Despite differing view points about Rational choice theory, it all comes down to the individual as a basic unit of theory.

Even though sharing, cooperation and cultural norms emerge, it all stems from an individual’s initial concern about the self. S Becker offers an example of how Rational choice can be applied to personal decisions, specifically regarding the rationale that goes behind decisions on whether to marry or divorce another individual. Due to the self-serving drive on which the theory of rational choice is derived, Becker concludes that people marry if the expected utility from such marriage exceeds the utility one would gain from remaining single, and in the same way couples would separate should the utility of being together be less than expected and provide less economic benefit than being separated would.

Social Exchange and Rational Choice Theory both comes down to an individual’s efforts to meet their own personal needs and interests through the choices they make. Even though some may be done sincerely for the welfare of others at that point of time, both theories point to the benefits received in return.

These returns may be received immediately or in the future, be it tangible or not. Coleman discussed a number of theories to elaborate on the premises and promises of rational choice theory. One of the concepts that He introduced was Trust. He noted that this level of trust is a consideration that an individual takes into concern before deciding on a rational action towards another individual. It affects the social situation as one navigates the risks and benefits of an action.

By assessing the possible outcomes or alternatives to an action for another individual, the person is making a calculated decision. In another situation such as making a bet, you are calculating the possible lost and how much can be won.

If the chances of winning exceeds the cost of losing, the rational decision would be to place the bet. Therefore, the decision to place trust in another individual involves the same rational calculations that are involved in the decision of making a bet. Even though rational theory is used in Economics and Social settings, there are some similarities and differences.

The concept of reward and reinforcement is parallel to each other while the concept of cost is also parallel to the concept of punishment. However, there is a difference of underlying assumptions in both contexts. In social a social setting, the focus is often on the current or past reinforcements instead of the future although there is no guarantee of immediate tangible or intangible returns from another individual.

In Economics, decisions are made with heavier emphasis on future rewards. Despite having both perspectives differ in focus, they primarily reflect on how individuals make different rational decisions when given an immediate or long-term circumstances to consider in their rational decision making. This theory critically helps us to understand the choices an individual or society makes. Even though some decisions are not entirely rational, it is possible that Rational Choice Theory still helps us to understand the motivations behind it.

Moreover, there has been a lot of discourse about Rational Choice Theory. It has often been too individualistic, minimalistic and heavily focused on rational decisions in social actions. Sociologists tend to justify any human action as rational as individuals are solely motivated by the pursuit of self-interest. It does not consider the possibility of pure altruism of a social exchange between individuals. Both the assumptions and the behavioral predictions of rational choice theory have sparked criticism from various camps.

As mentioned above, some economists have developed models of bounded rationality , such as Herbert Simon, which hope to be more psychologically plausible without completely abandoning the idea that reason underlies decision-making processes. Simon argues factors such as imperfect information, uncertainty and time constraints all affect and limit our rationality, and therefore our decision making skills.

Furthermore his concepts of ‘satisficing’ and ‘optimizing’ suggest sometimes because of these factors, we settle for a decision which is good enough, rather than the best decision. Fernandez-Huerga, Martin Hollis and Edward J. Nell ‘s book offers both a philosophical critique of neo-classical economics and an innovation in the field of economic methodology.

Further, they outlined an alternative vision to neo-classicism based on a rationalist theory of knowledge. Within neo-classicism, the authors addressed consumer behaviour in the form of indifference curves and simple versions of revealed preference theory and marginalist producer behaviour in both product and factor markets. Both are based on rational optimizing behaviour. They consider imperfect as well as perfect markets since neo-classical thinking embraces many market varieties and disposes of a whole system for their classification.

However, the authors believe that the issues arising from basic maximizing models have extensive implications for econometric methodology Hollis and Nell, , p. In particular it is this class of models — rational behavior as maximizing behaviour — which provide support for specification and identification. And this, they argue, is where the flaw is to be found.

Hollis and Nell argued that positivism broadly conceived has provided neo-classicism with important support, which they then show to be unfounded. They base their critique of neo-classicism not only on their critique of positivism but also on the alternative they propose, rationalism. Demands are made of it that it cannot fulfill. Ultimately, individuals do not always act rationally or conduct themselves in a utility maximising manner. Duncan K. Foley , p. He argued that.

As the specific claims of robust neoclassicism fade into the history of economic thought, an orientation toward situating explanations of economic phenomena in relation to rationality has increasingly become the touchstone by which mainstream economists identify themselves and recognize each other.

This is not so much a question of adherence to any particular conception of rationality, but of taking rationality of individual behavior as the unquestioned starting point of economic analysis. The concept of rationality, to use Hegelian language, represents the relations of modern capitalist society one-sidedly.

The well-known limitations of rational-actor theory, its static quality, its logical antinomies, its vulnerability to arguments of infinite regress , its failure to develop a progressive concrete research program, can all be traced to this starting-point.

More recently Edward J. Nell and Karim Errouaki , Ch. The DNA of neoclassical economics is defective. Neither the induction problem nor the problems of methodological individualism can be solved within the framework of neoclassical assumptions. The neoclassical approach is to call on rational economic man to solve both. To make rational calculations projectible, the agents may be assumed to have idealized abilities, especially foresight; but then the induction problem is out of reach because the agents of the world do not resemble those of the model.

The agents of the model can be abstract, but they cannot be endowed with powers actual agents could not have. Green and Ian Shapiro argue that the empirical outputs of rational choice theory have been limited. They contend that much of the applicable literature, at least in political science, was done with weak statistical methods and that when corrected many of the empirical outcomes no longer hold. When taken in this perspective, rational choice theory has provided very little to the overall understanding of political interaction – and is an amount certainly disproportionately weak relative to its appearance in the literature.

Yet, they concede that cutting-edge research, by scholars well-versed in the general scholarship of their fields such as work on the U. Schram and Caterino contains a fundamental methodological criticism of rational choice theory for promoting the view that the natural science model is the only appropriate methodology in social science and that political science should follow this model, with its emphasis on quantification and mathematization.

Schram and Caterino argue instead for methodological pluralism. The same argument is made by William E. Connolly , who in his work Neuropolitics shows that advances in neuroscience further illuminate some of the problematic practices of rational choice theory. Pierre Bourdieu fiercely opposed rational choice theory as grounded in a misunderstanding of how social agents operate.

Bourdieu argued that social agents do not continuously calculate according to explicit rational and economic criteria. According to Bourdieu, social agents operate according to an implicit practical logic—a practical sense—and bodily dispositions.

Social agents act according to their “feel for the game” the “feel” being, roughly, habitus, and the “game” being the field. Other social scientists, inspired in part by Bourdieu’s thinking have expressed concern about the inappropriate use of economic metaphors in other contexts, suggesting that this may have political implications.

The argument they make is that by treating everything as a kind of “economy” they make a particular vision of the way an economy works seem more natural. Thus, they suggest, rational choice is as much ideological as it is scientific, which does not in and of itself negate its scientific utility.

Rational choice theorists discuss individual values and structural elements as equally important determinants of outcomes. Therefore, in line with structural functionalism and social network analysis perspectives, rational choice explanations are considered mainstream in sociology. Some of the scepticism among sociologists regarding rational choice stems from a misunderstanding of the lack of realist assumptions. Social research has shown that social agents usually act solely based on habit or impulse, the power of emotion.

However, sociology commonly misunderstands rational choice in its critique of rational choice theory.
