Social exchange theory (SET) is one of the most influential theories in social sciences, which has implications across various fields. Despite its usefulness being a typical social transaction, there is a need to look at it from the lens of psychological transactions to further its evolution and to identify future directions. After generally reviewing 3,649 articles from the Social Science Citation Index and Scopus, a total of 46 articles were selected for final review using a comprehensive systematic review approach. We have highlighted the need for further research in psychological transactions, reciprocity principles, exchange relations, and the impact of various factors on the exchange process. Among other exchange rules (social, economic, and psychological) and transactions (social, economic, and psychological), this research provides an elevation platform for the less explored exchange rules in psychological transactions. Among other theories in the social sciences, social exchange theory is a theory that shadows many other theories under its umbrella.
社会交换理论（SET）是社会科学中最具影响力的理论之一，其影响涉及各个领域。尽管它作为一种典型的社会交易很有用，但有必要从心理交易的角度审视它，以推动其进一步发展并确定未来方向。在对来自社会科学引文索引和Scopus的3649篇文章进行总体回顾后，采用全面的系统回顾方法共选出46篇文章进行最终审查。我们强调了在心理交易、互惠原则、交换关系以及各种因素对交换过程的影响方面进行进一步研究的必要性。在其他交换规则（社会、经济和心理）和交易（社会、经济和心理）中，本研究为心理交易中较少被探索的交换规则提供了一个提升平台。在社会科学的其他理论中，社会交换理论是一种涵盖许多其他理论的理论。
