A few years ago,a university professor tried a little experiment.He sent Christmas cards to a sample of perfect strangers.Although he expected some reaction,the response he received was amazing—holiday cards addressed to him came pouring back from the people who had never met nor heard of him.The great majority of those who returned a card never inquired into the identity of the 31 professor.They received his holiday greeting card,and they 32 sent one in return.This study shows the action of one of the most powerful weapons of influence around us—the rule for reciprocation.The rule says that we should try to repay,in 33,what another person has provided us.If a woman does us a favor,we should do her 34 in return;if a man sends a birthday present,we should remember his birthday with a gift of our own;if a 35 invites us to a party,we should be sure to invite them to one of ours.By 36 of the reciprocity rule,then,we are obliged to the future repayment of favors,gifts,invitations,and the like.So typical is it for 37 to accompany the receipt of such things that a term like “much obliged” has become a synonym for “thank you”,not only in the English language but in others as well.

The impressive aspect of the rule for reciprocation and the sense of obligation that 38 with it is its pervasiveness in human culture.It is so 39 that after intensive study,sociologists can report that there is no human society that does not 40 to the rule.
