  Absolutely. I was a psych major. Another huge thing I learned, btw, was that my persistence (stubbornness, if you ask my wife ;) lets me learn most anything, which is how I came to be a developer. Instead of how I learned it, I'll point you to some topics in social psych: Read Cialdini, the psychology of influence. This doubles for attracting investment and women: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_proof http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_proof Social skills-the parens are part of the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirroring_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirroring_(psychology) Halo Effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect Interesting experiments: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment http://www.prisonexp.org/ http://www.prisonexp.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments If an area I listed here or in the original post is of particular interest, let me know and I'll reply with the specifics of what I meant, or pointers to some info on it.
