“…Valence is defined as the degree of happiness or sadness, whereas arousal is defined as a subjective state of feeling activated or deactivated (Sanchez et al 2005). Figure 1 explains some affective states and their correspondence to some valence-arousal combinations.…”

Do moods affect programmers’ debug performance?

There is much research that shows people's mood can affect their activities. This paper argues that this also applies to programmers, especially their debugging. Literature-based framework is presented linking programming with various cognitive activities as well as linking cognitive activities with moods. Further, the effect of mood on debugging was tested in two experiments. In the first experiment, programmers (n = 72) saw short movie clips selected for their ability to provoke specific moods. Afterward, they completed a debugging test. Results showed the video clips had a significant effect on programmers' debugging performance; especially, there was a significant difference after watching low-and high-arousalevoking video clips. In the second experiment, programmers' mood was manipulated by asking participants (n = 19) to dry run algorithms for at least 16 min. They performed some physical exercises before continuing dry running algorithms again. The results showed a significant increase in arousal and valence that coincided with an improvement in programmers' task performance after the physical exercises. Together, this suggests that programmers' moods influence some programming tasks such as debugging.

“…For example, the ''Rejoice'' state could be mapped as very pleasant and high aroused, whereas ''gloomy'' could be mapped as unpleasant and low aroused. Similarly ''terrified'' could be mapped as unpleasant but high aroused, whereas ''soothing'' could be mapped as pleasant but low aroused (Sanchez et al 2005).…”

“…Figure 1 illustrates how emotions are mapped to the space defined by the pleasure and arousal dimensions. This model was the basis for the Affective IM discussed in [11]. As noted earlier, the use of Lang's model was exploratory in nature and only included a small number of affective states.…”

We discuss the development and initial experiences with an instant messaging (IM) system that has been enhanced with functionality that facilitates the expression of affective states. This functionality is based on: (1) the use of a graphical, twodimensional base model developed by psychology researchers; (2) refinements of the base model to allow for increased precision in the expression of affective states while exchanging messages; and (3) the definition of meaningful icons associated with the aforementioned model. Experiments have been conducted which show that users are able to take advantage of the proposed IM enhancements when trying to convey affect.
