**Title**: Psychology 0101 (or 7+-2 things about psychology)\\
**Proposer**: [[2015:Claudius Link]]\\
**Type**: Interactive Session\\
**Duration**: 90 mins\\
**Description**: \\
While software development focus often on the used technologies and prescribed processes and strives to be an exact and repeatable activity, it is ultimately a human endeavour. And through this is subject to the quirks of human behaviour and psychology. Instead pure rational behaviour we knowingly or unconsciously deal with emotional, motivational, trust issues, with concentration, and communication deficits, with biases.\\
\\
All these are not unique to software development and there exists models and tools which help to understand and address many of these issues.\\
\\
Starting from the hierarchy of needs, the Dunning-Kruger effect, the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition, flow, system 1 and 2, magic numbers and coloured hats, as well as multi sided messages, comfort zones, we'll see were we get. The session will contain 'experiments' and happily incorporates the sharing of anecdotes and interactive participation.\\
