Social Dynamics is the field which focuses on studying group behaviour. In game studies there are many different domains of play, but group play or multi-player represents a vibrant and growing domain of interaction. This project is concerned with the complicated and unexplored relationships involving players when choosing to play a game with others. Contemporary game design appears to utilise typology-based methods to define and serve an audience, but an unexplained phenomenon within social dynamics influences the commencement of play. The proposed project will undertake three granular, qualitative and mixed method studies in order to understand this problem and present a viable hypothesis.

社会动力学是专注于研究群体行为的领域。在游戏研究中，游戏有许多不同的领域，但小组游戏或多人游戏代表了一个充满活力和不断增长的互动领域。这个项目关注的是玩家在选择与他人玩游戏时所涉及的复杂而未被探索的关系。当代游戏设计似乎使用了基于类型学的方法来定义和服务观众，但社交动态中一个无法解释的现象影响了游戏的开始。拟议的项目将进行三个细粒度、定性和混合方法研究，以了解这个问题并提出可行的假设。
