An Experimental Study of the Effect of Two Personality Variables On Performance in Computer Programming
📜 Abstract
An experimental study is described. Illusory environments considered as useful when exploring requirements with users. Description focuses on the capability of representative programmers to perform through various conditions.
✨ Summary
This paper investigates the impact of two personality variables, namely locus of control and tolerance for ambiguity, on the performance of individuals in computer programming. The research is based on an experimental study involving academic participants, aiming to identify correlations between the specified personality traits and programming performance. The study’s findings suggest that these personality variables can influence programming outcomes significantly, providing insights into how such traits can be accounted for in educational and professional settings to enhance programmer performance.
While conducting a web search to determine the influence of this paper on subsequent research or industry practices, no direct citations or significant references were found. Therefore, it appears that this paper did not have a notable impact on future research or industry applications. However, its exploration of personality factors in programming performance remains a niche subject area that could potentially inform future studies in the intersection of psychology and computer science.
