Detailed explanation-2: -The reciprocity principle is one of the basic laws of social psychology: It says that in many social situations we pay back what we received from others. In other words, if John does you a favor, you’re likely to return it to him.

Detailed explanation-3: -The norm of reciprocity can influence our behavior when we sense a moral obligation to return a favor. For example, when a stranger holds a door open for us, we thank them. This internal reciprocity encourages us to repay a debt not because people expect us to, but because we want to reward a particular behavior.
