Abstract

This chapter delves into the intriguing effects of gender on creativity in pair programming, comparing interactions between human developers and agents. It utilizes the Osborn-Parnes Creative Problem-Solving process to analyze conversations, revealing distinct patterns in how men, women, and mixed-gender pairs approach problem-solving. The study finds that while all pairs spend similar time on idea generation and development, men-only pairs tend to focus more on formulating challenges, while women-only pairs combine clarification with implementation. Mixed-gender pairs spend more time gathering data. When working with an agent, developers spend less time on idea generation and development, relying more on the agent for solutions. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the nuanced dynamics of creativity in pair programming, offering valuable insights for improving collaborative problem-solving in software development.
