Definition
- Comparison levels are an individual's expectations for the quality of a close relationship and the alternatives they have to that relationship. The comparison level (CL) is the standard that an individual uses to determine how satisfied he or she is with a specific relationship, which depends on the expected ratio of rewards-to-costs in that relationship.
