reciprocal altruism  

Définition

  • Rooted in evolutionary biology and multi-iteration game theory, reciprocal altruism is a cooperative strategy in which someone chooses to perform an act that incurs an immediate net personal cost to benefit another individual in the hope of reaping a future gain. In biological terms, it represents a willingness to forego one's own reproductive chances in favor of another's chances for the overall benefit of the group.
