How do group dynamics affect individuals within the group? How do individuals, in turn, affect group dynamics? As society comes together, individuals affect the group dynamics and vice versa. Social dynamics look at group dynamics, its effect on individuals, conformity, leadership, networks, and more. In the past two decades, the game theoretic Parrondo’s paradox has been used to model and explain the different aspects of social dynamics. Two losing games can be combined in a certain manner to give a winning outcome—this is known as Parrondo’s paradox. In this review, the connections between Parrondo’s paradox and social dynamics are discussed with emphasis on (i) cooperation and competition, (ii) resource redistribution and social welfare, and (iii) information flow and decision-making.

小组动态如何影响小组中的个人？个人又如何影响群体动态？随着社会的融合，个人会影响群体动力，反之亦然。社会动力着眼于群体动力，它对个人，合规性，领导力，网络等的影响。在过去的二十年中，游戏理论上的Parrondo悖论已被用来建模和解释社会动态的不同方面。可以将某些失败的游戏以某种方式组合在一起，以得出获胜的结果-这就是所谓的Parrondo悖论。在这篇评论中，讨论了帕隆多悖论与社会动力之间的联系，重点是（i）合作与竞争，（ii）资源再分配与社会福利，以及（iii）信息流与决策。
