This research explores how psycholinguistic tools can provide transparent insights into developers' cognitive and emotional states through their communications.

• Analyzes text from engineering communication channels (code reviews, chats) to understand human factors in software teams
• Leverages specialized tools like Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) that offer more interpretable insights than large language models
• Provides a systematic literature review of psycholinguistic approaches in software engineering contexts
• Highlights the importance of understanding human psychology for improving collaboration and productivity

For engineering teams, this research offers methodologies to better understand team dynamics, improve decision-making processes, and enhance developer productivity through psychological insights.
