-[[Shared Resources]] can lead to [[Competition]] and [[Tension]] but also to [[Negotiation]] and [[Social Interaction]], and when the latter occurs may spread to players taking on different [[Social Roles]] related to the [[Resources]] or putting them in situations of [[Social Dilemmas]].

+[[Shared Resources]] can lead to [[Competition]] in the form of [[Resource Competition]], and thereby [[Tension]]. It can also lead to [[Negotiation]] and [[Social Interaction]] focused upon those [[Shared Resources]], and when this occurs may spread to players taking on different [[Social Roles]] related to the [[Resources]] or putting them in situations of [[Social Dilemmas]]. Such [[Social Dilemmas]] are even more common in games where players not only have [[Shared Resources]] but also need to engage in [[Cooperation]], and this may further increase [[Tension]] since players may have [[Inherent Mistrust]] of each other.
 That others can use [[Shared Resources]] can effectively make [[Time Limits]] exist on how long players have access to these [[Resources]]. The presence of [[Shared Resources]] also make the players with access to them have [[Symmetric Resource Distribution]] regarding those [[Resources]].

+[[Shared Resources]] are introduced to make players have to deal with the complexity of having [[Resources]] that other players also can manipulate. This rather obviously changes perceptions of [[Ownership]] of said resources, but can also heavily influence the [[Social Interaction]] and [[Social Organizations]] present in a game. They can also affect or create [[Alliances]] and [[Mutual Goals]] when players can agree on trying to use the [[Shared Resources]] in a controlled way together. Examples of [[Shared Resources]] includes [[Lives]] or [[Extra Chances]] which whole [[Teams]] shares, as are the elements placed in common bags as part of [[Bag Building]]. [[Mutual Goals]] can also be used to modulate [[Shared Resources]] by simply given such goals to the players that have the [[Shared Resources]].

 Examples of [[Shared Resources]] includes [[Lives]] or [[Extra Chances]] which whole [[Teams]] shares.
 [[Penalties]] and [[Rewards]] can be modified by [[Shared Resources]] by having their effects apply on these. Perhaps more naturally they can be the target of both [[Shared Penalties]] and [[Shared Rewards]].
