Abstract
Individuals involved in a continuous relationship (college roommates) and strangers allocated rewards for a task under conditions of either high or low performance. It was predicted and found that roomates would overlook differences in merit and choose an equality distribution rule, whereas strangers would choose equality when they performed poorly and merit when they excelled. Results are interpreted in terms of the important situation-defining effect of type of relationship.Keywords
