Dissertation Empirical Package - Empathy-Guided Software Development: A Conceptual Framework of Empathy in Software Engineering

This repository contains the datasets, scripts, and materials derived from the dissertation. The data is organized into three folders, each corresponding to a chapter. 📁 Chapter 3 This folder contains all files related to the analysis of grey literature on empathy in software development, based on articles retrieved from the DEV community. Contents: dev_scraper.py and ImportJSON.gs: scripts used to collect articles from DEV.to. codebook.xlsx: Final version of the codebook used in the content analysis. coded_articles.xlsx: Annotated data with codes and themes. Additional files supporting the thematic analysis and coder agreement. 📁 Chapter 4 This folder contains data and scripts related to a survey study conducted within a software company to assess the perception and practice of empathy at work. 📂 Survey data – Empathy in SE workplaces Survey Empathy Workplaces Raw Data.xlsx: Raw survey data (in Portuguese) including closed and open-ended questions. Complete Survey Empathy Workplaces.pdf: Survey instrument with all questions and response options. Content analysis - Survey Empathy Workplaces: Coded responses to open-ended questions. 📂 Data analysis – Scripts data_cleaning.R: Script to preprocess and clean the raw data. Other scripts to generate descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests based on roles, gender, and other demographics, exploratory factor analysis and heatmap. 📁 Chapter 5 – Expert Survey and Framework Refinement This folder contains the data and analysis from a second survey conducted with experts to validate and refine the empathy framework. 📂 Survey experts – data Complete Survey - Framework Assessment.pdf : Survey instrument with all questions and response options. Raw data responses.xlsx: Raw qualitative responses from the expert participants. Data analysis survey experts.xlsx: Thematic analysis and code application. 📂 Framework initial_framework: Original empathy framework model. frameworkv2.pdf: Second version of the empathy framework model. revised_framework: Final version after expert feedback. 📄 Citation If you use this dataset in your research, please cite: Cerqueira, L.
