Trajectories differed in transition structure: free-rider students migrated from social mediator and leader roles into the peripheral explorer role, and rarely returned to leadership directly.¶

Subclaims¶

q2 i? In the free riders trajectory (n = 47), 81% of students persisted in the peripheral explorer role, with 76% of social mediators and 40% of leaders migrating to peripheral exploration, while leader transitions typically required an intermediary social mediator phase of about a week or two. → Ramy Elmoazen 2025 q2 i? In the social interactive trajectory (n = 48), 81.3% initiated as social mediators and 85% stayed stable, versus 78.5% leadership predominance and 75% consistency in the active constructive trajectory (n = 40). → Ramy Elmoazen 2025 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Process mining with a Markov model (seqHMM) of role transitions within the free riders trajectory, visualized with a 0.05 probability threshold. Percentages are the article's printed transition proportions, not test statistics.

"Throughout this trajectory, 81% of students persist in their peripheral explorer role. It is evident that a high percentage of students migrate from social mediators (76%) and from leaders (40%) to peripheral explorers."

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Sequence and transition analysis of the two active trajectories. Social-interactive students predominantly initiated "as social mediators (81.3%)" with 85% stability; percentages are printed descriptive proportions.

"in the active constructive trajectory (n = 40), students predominantly have leadership roles (78.5%), maintaining this position with a high degree of consistency (75%)."
