Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negative reciprocity (the exchange of goods or services where one party tries to receive more than they give) would be the least common among these groups, as they are typically known for their emphasis on egalitarianism and sharing without expectation of immediate return. Balanaced and generalized reciprocity are common among these groups, and unbalanced reciprocity (with the expectation of a return gift or favor) may be present but would not be the least common.
