A dynamic game model analysis for friendship selection

Abstract

Befriending with net friends in real life is an important choice for people who live in a fast-paced lifestyle, but results are unsatisfactory and even cause a lot of malignant events. Therefore, this paper simulates the whole process of Internet friend-making through the construction of game model and field experiment, with the aim of showing the behavior logic of people with limited rational when they try to befriend with net friends in real life. This paper aims to give more behavior guidance to related participants. Results from this research show that in the process of making friends on the Internet, the basis for people befriending with net friends in real life is that they assume that their conditions are equal. But in off-line activities, they cannot improve their effectiveness, which then terminates their communication. Therefore, this paper suggests that Internet social users should distinguish Internet friend-making from traditional friend-making, and do not have too many unrealistic expectations of Internet friend-making.
