  How does society work? How do groups emerge within society? What are the
effects of emotions and memory on our everyday actions? George Homans, like us,
had a perspective on what society is, except that he was a sociologist. Homans
theory, which is an exchange theory, is based on a few propositions about the
fundamental actions of individuals, and how values, memory, and expectations
affect their behavior. In this paper, our main interest and purpose are to find
out whether these propositions can satisfy our conception of society and
generate essential properties of it computationally. To do so, Based on Homans'
prepositions, we provide the opportunity for each agent to exchange with other
agents. That is, each agent transacts with familiar agents based on his
previous history with them and transacts with newly found agents through
exploration. One novelty of our work is the investigation of implications of
the base theory while covering its flaws with minimal intervention; flaws which
are inevitable in a non-mathematical theory. The importance of our work is that
we have scrutinized the consequences of an actual sociological theory. At the
end of our investigation, we propose another proposition to Homans theory,
which makes the theory more appealing, and we discuss other possible directions
for further research.
