Objective: The relationship among the positive reciprocity, negative reciprocity, gratitude and satisfaction with life were examined in order to explore the differences of well-being between people with different reciprocity tendency. Methods: 587 college students were investigated with The Personal Norm of Reciprocity Scale, Gratitude Questionnaire, and Satisfaction With Life Scale. Results: Positive reciprocity was significantly positively correlated to gratitude, satisfaction with life, while negative reciprocity was inversely correlated to gratitude, satisfaction with life; After controlling for sex and age, gratitude both played full mediators between the positive reciprocity and satisfaction with life, and between the negative reciprocity and satisfaction with life. Conclusion: Positive reciprocity is a distinct dimension from negative reciprocity; The reciprocity disposition influences the satisfaction with life mainly through gratitude, which may provide a theoretical framework for improving the well-being of college students with different reciprocity tendency.
