Psychology
"Knowledge of Psychology helps us to understand people, how they interact with each
other and with a system.
It helps us to predict how people will react to a specific change, why they resist change,
and how to overcome this resistance. People are different from one another; they have
different preferences, aspirations, motivations, and learning styles. Most changes that
are aimed at improvement will have to recognize these differences and account for
them."
