Reciprocity

The behavior of strong reciprocity requires the ability of one individual to punish another at a cost to themselves, yet the source for allowing early humans to do this must have arisen from some powerful biological source. It has been shown that strong negative emotions may have been the basis for enabling individuals to practice strong reciprocity, giving them the willingness to confront and punish free riders in early human social groups (“Altruistic punishment” 139).

If we fail in our reciprocal obligations, we signal an unwillingness to continue the…

During my experience with Jenny, this feeling of reciprocity was rather prominent. Despite not knowing Jenny prior to this meeting, I still felt the sense of indebtedness towards her when she complimented me.

Article Review “Beyond Reciprocity: Gratitude and Relationships in Everyday Life” an article by Sara B. Algoe, Jonathan Haidt and Shelly L. Gable is aiming to show how gratitude may shape new relationships and the quality of those relationships we choose to keep in the future.
