Based on altruistic and strong reciprocity theories, a hybrid trust-dictator game tested the influence of relationship (i.e., friends vs. strangers), treatment (i.e., positive vs. negative), and culture (i.e., collectivistic vs. individualistic) on reciprocation. The results (N = 160) showed that participants reciprocated more positively when treated positively in general.
