Using an order of magnitude more subjects, this replication of a study by Dos Santos and Hawk confirms its finding that system development professionals' attitudes can be classified as user-oriented, technically-oriented, or socio-politically-oriented. Furthermore, we found that these attitudes are related to such demographic individual differences as age, education, system development experience, and managerial position. We also looked for differences by gender, but the data do not support differences in attitude according to gender.
