Abstract

Both offline and online human behaviors are affected by personality. Of special interests are online games, where players have to impersonate specific roles and their behaviors are extensively tracked by the game. In this paper, we propose to study the relationship between players’ personality and game behavior in League of Legends (LoL), one of the most popular
Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games. We use linear mixed effects (LME) models to describe relationships between players’ personality traits (measured by the Five Factor Model)
and two major aspects of the game: the impersonated roles  and in-game actions. On the one hand, we study relationships within the game environment by modeling role attributes from
match behaviors and vice versa. On the other hand, we analyze the relationship between a player’s five personality traits and their game behavior by showing significant correlations between
each personality trait and the set of corresponding behaviors. Our findings suggest that personality and behavior are highly entangled and provide a new perspective to understand how
personality can affect behavior in role-based online games. Index Terms—personality, game behavior, online role-based

source of data, providing valuable opportunities for researchers  to investigate potential connections between personality and behavior. Of special interests are Multi-players Online Battle
Arena (MOBA) games, which include several social aspects  that could be influenced by personality, such as impersonating a role and cooperating with teammates. Here, we study one of the most popular MOBA games:  League of Legends (LoL). In LoL game scenario, each player....
