策略动态被假设为交互式多参与者设计问题的结构因素，影响设计参与者的集体表现和行为。使用基于设计优化和策略选择的集体决策过程的双层模型，我们制定了一系列双参与者参数设计任务，这些任务表现出与低水平和高水平的结构性恐惧和贪婪相关的四种策略动态（和谐、共存、双稳态和背叛）。在这些任务中，设计参与者对共同努力，以最大化他们的个人价值，同时管理符合或偏离互惠互利的集体策略之间的权衡。人类受试者设计实验的结果表明，认知行为者通常遵循某些策略动态（和谐和共存）的规范预测，但不严格遵循其他策略动态（双稳态和背叛）的规范预测。累积链接模型回归分析表明，与恐惧因素相比，贪婪因素对策略动态的贡献对集体效率和个体结果平等具有更强的影响。这项研究的结果提供了工程设计中策略动态的初步描述，并有助于框架未来的工作，以通过社会结构或机制设计减轻其潜在策略动态的潜在不利影响。
Strategy dynamics are hypothesized to be a structural factor of interactive multi-actor design problems that influence collective performance and behaviors of design actors. Using a bi-level model of collective decision processes based on design optimization and strategy selection, we formulate a series of two-actor parameter design tasks that exhibit four strategy dynamics (harmony, coexistence, bistability, and defection) associated with low and high levels of structural fear and greed. In these tasks, design actor pairs work collectively to maximize their individual values while managing the trade-offs between aligning with or deviating from a mutually beneficial collective strategy. Results from a human subject design experiment indicate cognizant actors generally follow normative predictions for some strategy dynamics (harmony and coexistence) but not strictly for others (bistability and defection). Cumulative link model regression analysis shows that a greed factor contributing to strategy dynamics has a stronger effect on collective efficiency and equality of individual outcomes compared to a fear factor. Results of this study provide an initial description of strategy dynamics in engineering design and help to frame future work to mitigate potential unfavorable effects of their underlying strategy dynamics through social constructs or mechanism design.
