要对软件工程的人性化方面进行高质量的研究，就需要真实的软件开发人员参与研究，但获得高水平的参与对软件工程研究人员来说是一个挑战。在本文中，我们讨论了软件工程研究人员在招募参与者时可以使用的几个因素，这些因素来自于对调查设计的一般研究，说服力研究以及我们在进行调查时的经验。我们通过对先前进行的几次调查进行事后分析来研究这些因素。我们的研究结果提供了深入了解与增加响应率相关的因素，这些因素既不完全由严格与说服研究相关的因素组成，也不完全由软件工程中的传统智慧组成。
Doing high quality research about the human side of software engineering necessitates the participation of real software developers in studies, but getting high levels of participation is a challenge for software engineering researchers. In this paper, we discuss several factors that software engineering researchers can use when recruiting participants, drawn from a combination of general research on survey design, research on persuasion, and our experience in conducting surveys. We study these factors by performing post-hoc analysis on several previously conducted surveys. Our results provide insight into the factors associated with increased response rates, which are neither wholly composed of factors associated strictly with persuasion research, nor those of conventional wisdom in software engineering.
