So I've been doing some read up about UX hoping to firm up my base as a UX practitioner and was just wondering and thinking if User Psychology is similar to the use of empathy.

Understanding that a good UX Designer understands their User well, so in terms of designing, both of these (Empathy and generally Psychology) are aspects that contributes too.

Empathy and general psychology are two different approaches, that help you to understand users goals, constraints, reasoning, feelings etc. But they have a lot of overlapping and they also complement each other.

I see empathy as more a skill acquired with practice, whereas general psychology is more about theories and general findings about human behavior.
