Query: Do feelings matter? On the correlation of affects and the self-assessed
  productivity in software engineering   Background: software engineering research (SE) lacks theory and methodologies
for addressing human aspects in software development. Development tasks are
undertaken through cognitive processing activities. Affects (emotions, moods,
feelings) have a linkage to cognitive processing activities and the
productivity of individuals. SE research needs to incorporate affect
measurements to valorize human factors and to enhance management styles.
  Objective: analyze the affects dimensions of valence, arousal, and dominance
of software developers and their real-time correlation with their self-assessed
productivity (sPR).
  Method: repeated measurements design with 8 participants (4 students, 4
professionals), conveniently sampled and studied individually over 90 minutes
of programming. The analysis was performed by fitting a linear mixed- effects
(LME) model.
  Results: valence and dominance are positively correlated with the sPR. The
model was able to express about 38% of deviance from the sPR. Many lessons were
learned when employing psychological measurements in SE and for fitting LME.
  Conclusion: this article demonstrates the value of applying psychological
tests in SE and echoes a call to valorize the human, individualized aspects of
software developers. It reports a body of knowledge about affects, their
classification, their measurement, and the best practices to perform
psychological measurements in SE with LME models.
