[Purpose/significance] With the deepening of information behavior research, relevant researchers gradually get rid of the single-user-centered research thinking, and begin to pay attention to collaborative information behavior in information behavior. However, the theoretical basis of a single discipline tends to gradually expose the limitations of explanatory power in the face of complex research objects. [Method/process] It is helpful to have a more comprehensive understanding of the research objects to absorb and learn from the theories and methods of other disciplines. Through different research perspectives, this paper deeply discusses the motivation, social dilemma and game existing in collaborative information behavior, hoping to provide a broader vision and a more comprehensive understanding for collaborative information behavior research.[Result/conclusion] The interdisciplinary perspective can provide a broader perspective and a more comprehensive understanding for the research on collaborative information behavior, and help
researcherscomprehensively examine the whole process of collaborative information behavior from generation to end.
