Abstract

We study the stability of non-cognitive skills by comparing experimental data gathered before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a sample of professional traders, we find a significant decrease in Agreeableness and Locus of Control and a moderate decrease in Grit. These patterns are primarily driven by those with more negative experiences of the pandemic. Other skills, such as Trust, Conscientiousness, and Self-Monitoring, are unchanged. We contrast these results with those from a sample of undergraduate students whose non-cognitive skills remain constant (except Conscientiousness). Our findings provide evidence against the stability of some non-cognitive skills, particularly among professional traders.

COVID-19 时的非认知技能:以专业交易员和学生为对象的实验
我们通过比较 COVID-19 大流行之前和期间收集的实验数据,研究了非认知技能的稳定性。通过对专业交易员的抽样调查,我们发现他们的 "认同感 "和 "控制感 "显著下降,而 "勇气 "则适度下降。这些模式主要是由那些对大流行病有更多负面经历的人驱动的。其他技能,如信任、自觉性和自我监控则没有变化。我们将这些结果与非认知技能保持不变("认真 "除外)的本科生样本的结果进行了对比。我们的研究结果提供了不利于某些非认知技能稳定性的证据,尤其是在专业交易者中。
