This paper investigates the temporal dynamics of group interactions in higher-order social networks using empirical data on social interactions among children and university students. The authors characterize how individuals navigate groups and how groups form and disaggregate, finding robust patterns across contexts. A dynamical model is proposed and shown to closely reproduce empirical observations, furthering understanding of social systems and opening new research directions on the impact of group dynamics on various processes.
