行为软件工程中的心理测量学:方法论介绍和指南

Psychometrics in Behavioral Software Engineering: A Methodological Introduction with Guidelines

Daniel Graziotin, Per Lenberg, Robert Feldt, Stefan Wagner

摘要:

对软件工程(SE)中人的方面的有意义和深入的理解需要考虑心理结构。心理学理论可以促进系统和健全的发展,以及采用工具(例如,心理测试,问卷调查)来评估这些结构。特别是,为了确保高质量,需要对仪器的心理测量特性进行评估。在本文中,我们提供了一个介绍心理测量理论的测量工具的评估SE研究人员。我们提出的指导方针,使使用现有的工具和开发新的充分。我们对教育和心理测试标准框架下的心理学文献进行了全面的回顾。我们详细介绍了操作新的心理结构时使用的活动,如项目池,项目审查,试点测试,项目分析,因素分析,项目的统计属性,可靠性,有效性,测试和测试偏差的公平性。我们提供了一个公开的例子,心理测量评估的基础上,我们的指导方针。我们希望鼓励SE研究的文化变革,采用心理学的既定方法。为了提高SE行为研究的质量,研究重点是介绍,验证,然后使用心理测量仪器需要更常见。

英文摘要:

A meaningful and deep understanding of the human aspects of software engineering (SE) requires psychological constructs to be considered. Psychology theory can facilitate the systematic and sound development as well as the adoption of instruments (e.g., psychological tests, questionnaires) to assess these constructs. In particular, to ensure high quality, the psychometric properties of instruments need evaluation. In this paper, we provide an introduction to psychometric theory for the evaluation of measurement instruments for SE researchers. We present guidelines that enable using existing instruments and developing new ones adequately. We conducted a comprehensive review of the psychology literature framed by the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing. We detail activities used when operationalizing new psychological constructs, such as item pooling, item review, pilot testing, item analysis, factor analysis, statistical property of items, reliability, validity, and fairness in testing and test bias. We provide an openly available example of a psychometric evaluation based on our guideline. We hope to encourage a culture change in SE research towards the adoption of established methods from psychology. To improve the quality of behavioral research in SE, studies focusing on introducing, validating, and then using psychometric instruments need to be more common.
