Generalized reciprocity is when gifts are given without expectations of immediate return of a gift. this is found in all foraging and tribal societies. forms of these type of exchange are still found in modern societies but is focused primarily within a circle of family and friends and is no longer necessary for survival.On the other hand, balanced reciprocity is when gifts are given with explicit expectation of a return gift. gifts do not need to be equivalent value in many cases, and they usually occur between non-blood

kin.
