Moods and Programmers' Performance.

摘要: We tested the impact of mood on debugging performance programmers. Four movie clips were used to induce programmer’s mood. In test, 72 programmers watched both a neutral video clip and one four evoking after each these they took test. Examination test results revealed an almost significant effect for arousal mood-dimension debug score (F (1, 70) = 3.33, p 0.07) number questions attempted within required time 6.26, 0.015). However, no was found valance dimension. These seem suggest that ability find correct errors in program code depends their level arousal.
