“…Since cooperation is hard to enforce Tribler uses psychology theory for inducing it by showing the similarity between users, making behavior publicly visible, making it possible for users to express approval or disapproval about each other, allowing different return-on-investment times for different relationship types, showing how much others contribute in respect to their total resources, exploiting the need to belong, and make groups small, powerful and exclusive, allowing users to stand out of the crowd, displaying information on friendship and the degrees of separation, letting users specialize in one of the four aspects of cooperation, keeping track of the given help/received help ratio, making information about a group and its members visible, and finally, making users feel intrinsically motivated to cooperate [55], [56]. A user is more induced to reciprocity over time if the action is directed at one person rather than whole community as a whole [57]. Effective reciprocal relationships can most likely be found within first or second degrees of separation, whereas relationships of higher degrees are not as flexible over time, thus benefiting most from immediate reciprocity.…”
