The risk-taking software engineer: A framed portrait
Wed 17 May 2023 12:22 - 12:30 at Meeting Room 109 - Cognitive aspects of software development Chair(s): Nicole Novielli
Background: Risk-taking is prevalent in a host of activities performed by software engineers on a daily basis, yet there is scant research on it. Aims and Method: We study if software engineers’ risk-taking is affected by framing effects and by software engineers’ personality. To this end, perform a survey experiment with software engineers. Results: We find that framing substantially affects their risk-taking. Out of the “Big Five” personality traits, only conscientiousness appears to be potentially related to risk-taking in software engineers. Conclusions: Software engineers and their managers must be aware of framing effects and account for them properly.
