Correlation Between Personality and Social Interactions in Online Strategy Games

2020 
Personality inference could create useful information, especially for the game industry. In this paper, we investigate whether and how the player personality is revealed in the player social interactions in a massively multiplayer online strategy game. We conduct an online survey with 50,319 participants to collect the player personality traits. We then develop proper features to capture the player in-game social interactions, and analyze correlations between personality and social interactions using these features. Our results show that the in-game social interactions are correlated with personality, and reveal how personality can affect social interactions in massively multiplayer online strategy games. Then we further discuss the implication of our results.
