| Popis: | The proliferation of technology has led to increased reliance on software. In software development, efficiencies can be gained by developers who reuse previously written code rather than starting from scratch. Although this practice has advantages, it can lead to security vulnerabilities. As such, it is important to understand the antecedents to software reuse. The present study explored how personality affects the decision to reuse software. Fourteen participants were recruited to evaluate 18 code artifacts. Results indicated that those participants higher in agreeableness were more likely to reuse the computer code than those lower in agreeableness. However, we found no evidence that the trustworthiness–reuse relationship was strengthened for those higher in agreeableness. In addition, there was no relationship between openness and reuse, nor did the interaction between openness and trustworthiness predict reuse. Post hoc exploratory analyses revealed agreeableness, but not openness, weakened the relationship between perceptions of code trustworthiness and time spent reviewing code. |
