Neither of these sides really resonated for me as described so I don’t have a good sense of what you’re pointing to. The closest you got for me was expecting a lot vs. expecting little.
I just finished reading Elephant in the Brain so I’m particularly drawn to what these mean as social strategies: expecting a lot of others vs. expecting little of others. The question seems to be something like, what do I think other people owe me? What promises, implicit or explicit, do I take them to have made, and how should I react if I think those promises have been broken? Seems related to the question of how diachronic vs. episodic I expect others to be.
