A Study on how End User's perceive change

Hey guys,
I am planning a study which aims to answer how end user's perceive change.
'Change' here could be upgrading of a software ( e.g. MS word 2003 to MS
word 2007), OS, switching between similar applications (e.g. MS Expression
Web to Dreamweaver) etc. I am currently trying to find similar studies from
backgrounds such as Behavioral Psych, Computer Science, HCI etc.

Has anyone conducted similar studies? Could anyone point me to any
studies/books/papers that could be related to this?

Thanks!

"Social reality" card game

Ever since I first heard about Alternate Reality Games, I've been
interested in the crossover of gaming ideas into the "real world".

I came across a game called Akoha a few months ago that promises to
use mission cards to encourage good deeds and interactions with new
people. They recently made packs of cards available for a few dollars
and mine arrived just before Christmas.
