Prosocial exchange systems: Nonreciprocal giving, lending, and skill-sharing
作者：
Highlights：
• Direct and indirect reciprocity between users of a popular prosocial exchange system are examined.
• Reciprocal relationships are rare (1.58%) across three forms of prosocial behaviour (giving, lending, and skill-sharing).
• Results challenge the idea that prosocial exchange is motivated and sustained through ‘generalised reciprocity’.
• Network analysis reveals users interact through fragmented chains of dyads rather than channels for indirect reciprocity.
