3. Altruistic traits are surprising from an evolutionary perspective. Altruism could be explained via reciprocity, and reciprocity does seem to be important at the level of dyadic human relationships (relationships between two people).
1. Explain how altruistic tendencies evolve via reciprocity.
2. Give an example of reciprocity from your own life (or the lives of people you know well).
3. What happens--in your mind and feelings, and in your behavior—if someone to whom you have provided many favors declines to help you out when you are in need?
4. Does what you described in 3C match the predictions of reciprocity theory? Explain.
