The first thing to know about psychology as a PM is to know that if you are in a situation which requires sufficient knowledge of it, you should bring in an expert.

I conducted "small" research: can anyone recommend these books? 1. Applied Psychology for Project Managers: A Practitioner's Guide to Successful Project Management (Management for Professionals) by Isabell Braumandl Monika Wastian, Lutz von Rosenstiel (+), Michael A. West (Author) 2. Psychological Project Management by Leif Rogell
In my opinion, an article entitled Applying learning from sports psychology to projects by Jonathan O'Donnell-Young & Rudy Pilotto is a valuable piece of writing: https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/apply...y-projects-7637 Saving Changes...

I looked it up on wikipedia: Psychology is the science of mind and behaviour. There is not a summary of it, or one truth, you are starting a journey.
So you want to learn about how you or other humans think and why we show certain behaviors.
As a starter, I would read about the history of humanity. A Good book is Harari's Sapiens.
Then the famous Kahneman, Thinking fast and slow. Debunking the myth of humans as rational decision makers and the the assumption of a homo economicus.
And on a practical manner, Grenny et al., Crucial conversations. Giving a mental model of what happens in our brains if we react to others actions.
