无数的人类追求依赖于协作解决问题，特别是在复杂的、开放式的领域。作为对这种协作的不断增长的技术支持的一部分，存在着设计系统的机会，这些系统积极地指导和促进协作问题的解决，以获得最富有成效的结果。为了实现这一机会，需要更好地理解复杂问题上开放式合作的动态。为了更好地理解这种需求，我们研究了科学发现游戏《Foldit》的协作问题解决生态系统。我们的调查是由两个主要问题指导的：Foldit的社会方面如何影响个人的行为？哪些因素对群体成功有显著影响？我们发现，合作和竞争与增加的参与有关，合作可以提高个人绩效。我们还发现，团队技能、个人技能和参与与更好的团队表现相关。
Countless human pursuits depend upon collaborative problem solving, especially in complex, open-ended domains. As part of the growing technological support for such collaboration, an opportunity exists to design systems that actively guide and facilitate collaborative problem solving toward the most productive outcomes. A better understanding of the dynamics of open-ended collaboration on complex problems is needed to realize this opportunity. Motivated by this need for better understanding, we investigate the collaborative problem solving ecosystem of the scientific-discovery game Foldit. Our investigation is guided by two primary questions: how do the social aspects of Foldit impact an individual's behavior? and what factors have significant impact on group success? We find that collaboration and competition are associated with increased participation and that collaboration increases individual performance. We also find that measures of group skill, individual skill, and participation correlate with better group performance.
