Reciprocity (Sociology)
An exchange, between two or more parties, rooted in mutuality. Reciprocity is a cooperative trade of services, favors, goods, or aid. The terms of a reciprocal relationship rely on the principles of give-and-take: Each participant in the deal provides something, and each receives something. The gains and concessions should be comparable in value.
