Abstract

To date many routine-attempts at encouraging diversity take an excessively paternal approach, such as forcing students into prespecified groups based upon student majors or some other readily observable difference. We view such attempts to encourage diversity as undesirable because paternal tactics limit individual freedom restraining students from the opportunity to strategize, tinker, and learn from the process. To respect individual autonomy while encouraging diversity, we offer a game based on MTV's reality series 'Are You the One'. The game encourages diversity though the use of group incentives, thereby preserving autonomy and inspiring social exploration.
