Abstract

The current research will investigate the impact of curiosity and frustration on behavior and performance for individuals completing tasks related to cybersecurity skills (e.g., coding). We expect that individuals scoring higher in curiosity (identified as part of the hacker mentality) and lower in frustration will be more successful.
