Reciprocation

It has been examined that human behaviors change when different technical factors are involved, such as Foot-In-The-Door, Door-In-The-Face, and Reciprocity. These techniques link by the understanding of how one person can be spoken into compliance that directs getting something they want. All three of these connect because it is usually that as one person asks for something, almost always they ask for something in return. In a sense, Reciprocity fits in as one of the techniques that are most commonly

The act of unconditional giving is an attribute that many cultures hold up as the highest form of love. The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein, is a classic childhood book that illustrates the selfless act of unconditional giving which manifests as unconditional love, between a tree and a boy. Giving by the tree, to the boy, begins in the boy's childhood and continues on until he is an old man. This story is representative of the relationship between mother and child. The story opens with the young

help even if the gift given is a simple smile (Vrugt & Vet, 2009). Moving away from a simple gesture to a physical gift, researchers Whatley,Webster, Smith, and Rhodes (1999) studied how much reciprocation is tied to public or private consequences and if having received a gift further impacts reciprocation in those situations. Researchers believed that they would see

In Social Psychology, there are six principles of compliance that describe the tactics people use to persuade or influence others. Also referred to as Cialdini’s six weapons of influence, these six approaches include reciprocation, commitment and consistency, social proof, friendship/liking, authority, and scarcity. Of course, one can find examples of these persuasive techniques in everyday life situations. However, if there is a single location where one can find examples of these principles occurring

In Plato’s Republic, Book VII, Socrates presents an allegory to Glaucon that is meant to examine the effect of education and knowledge on human beings (514a). This allegory motivates the arguments given in the larger context of the Republic, namely the construction of the perfectly good and just city. Specifically, the allegory shows how the philosopher, as the only person who exits the cave in the allegory, is required to re enter the cave after having exited and come into direct contact with true

Pomeranian before belittling it just as he later does to her and only changes his strategy when she decides he’s not worth her time. Dmitri Gurov’s discovery that love requires emotional reciprocation on the part of the male changes him from a cold, uninterested man, into someone who believes his emotional reciprocation entitles him to a relationship. Author Anton Chekhov's introduction of Sergeyena changes Gurov. She does not immediately answer his demands and can be described as “dejected” and “mournful”

festivities and events such as rituals and dances. These type of gifts resemble peace, respect, and honor. Mauss describes this as a 'system of total services' which indicates that the gifts represented are beneficial to the whole society through reciprocation. In this book, Mauss explains the diversity of gift giving in different tribes of

The nature of a dog is to be man’s best friend. Within Kizer’s expression of the speaker’s animalistic pain lies the foundational trait of unrequited love: the ability to forgive flaws for the hope of reciprocation by the beloved. A quick glimpse of “a look like the old days” (10) removes the alarm felt initially with a simple desire “to snuggle up to him, to cringe” (12). This transition demonstrates that her love was genuine because she still holds the

shown that in the principle of reciprocation even when the person giving the gift does not ask to be reciprocated the recipient feels stressed and indebted to the person causing them anxiety (Larson, 1973). In conclusion influence and persuasion in a teaching setting can be an extremely powerful tool, as it can help people achieve a goal through the principle of commitment and consistency, and increase compliance of a student through the principle of reciprocation. However these principles can also

Whether or not all gifts carry the obligation of reciprocity is characterized by the gift’s cultural context. The Gift: The Form and the Reason for Exchange in Archaic Societies, (1925) Marcel Mauss’ ethnographic book, presents the necessity of reciprocation through analysing the gift giving practices of the Maori and the Kwakiutl. Jonathan Parry revisits Mauss’ theory in his essay, “The Gift, the Indian Gift and the ‘Indian Gift’,” (1986) addressing its connection as well as contradiction to the Hindu
