While psych is a new science, you can also argue that most other sciences are new as well. What about people who are studying COVID right now? Are they not frequently changing information in the way that psychology does as well? Are they not unsure about most of the information that they're giving us. By that flawed logic, you're also doubting medical research.

while i wholeheartedly agree with the rest of your post, even though COVID-19 is a new disease, it’s still being studied by epidemiologists, and the practice of studying infectious diseases has been around since the 1800s
it’s not the best comparison, something like the study of robotics would probably be closer in age to psychology

Psychology itself is way to very young subject about 150ish years old. It wasnt that long ago when we thought Freudian beliefs were accurate. Since psychology was created tons of discovered based off of other discoverys were made such as integral calculas go prove the laws of gravity. Psychology makes discoveres based upon feelings, emotions, and psuedo science.

The term psychology is also super different with many branches changing very often. Psychology right now as a field is a socal science which means that a lot of it's theories originate from refutable data that is always changing.

Psychology is a young study that uses elements of science in it but I don't believe we will ever get to a point where the brain and human emotions can be perfectively defined to where it is a pure science.

As someone who is currently studying psychology in hopes to further research in my field, I'd like to politely disagree with you there, SP.

Science is something based off of RESEARCH, TRIAL, and ERROR. Psychology is conducted of multiple studies just like any other science is. While there are things that are based off of philosophy and faulty information, the information in our textbooks are ever changing to support the fact that these things can be considered wrong.

And while people like Sigmund Freud are absolute nutcases, you can argue that his findings are what got us to where we are today.

The world is a very newly discovered thing as a whole. Our world is nowhere near fully explored yet and we are constantly finding out new things about it. I'd like to see what you think when the next breakthrough about astronomy, psychics, biology, psychology, and any other science contradicts past findings. Will that mean that said branch of science would be inaccurate too?

I don't think science should be a part of psychology. In fact I believe science ruins psychology

What about the parts of psychology that are directly affected by biology

Or how professionals have to use knowledge of physiology, anatomy, and psychology in order to treat symptoms and disorders, especially when giving medicine

Idk if I said this before but psychology borrows a lot of resources from science to help understand it to the fullest. Kinda like math. It's a great tool to have in the professional field of health and what not. Psychology will always be super important for that reason and why it's so fun to learn about

Other sciences do that too though. Biology borrows from Chemistry and Physics. Biology, as for all other sciences, also use resources from math.

Vehicles need a knowledge of physics and chemistry. Most people wouldn't call a car designer a scientist. The thing that stops psychology in my eyes to being a full on science is that a lot of it's theories are just not at a point where we can fully understand the concepts behind our brains and human experience to a t due to a lot of unexpected elements of bias and what not

The thing about psychological experiments is that they're a bit different from traditional scientific ones. In science a theory is made by using old facts to create new facts. They then do a test to a subject to either prove or disprove their theory. And then they do it again constantly. Experimenting with people is quite different because humans are harder to be constant with. If I were to ask you a question right now and another question in 5 minutes you will most likely feel different. You become a different person within that time span. A lot of experiments will get affected by this change of behavior.

You don't call them scientists because cars aren't an occurrence in the natural world. Not fully understanding the subject can be said for many aspects of human biology. There is a lot we don't understand about the body, especially when it comes to diseases or why the body reacts the way it does, but that doesn't make it any less of a science than more well-understood portions. There are many aspects of DNA and genetics that are just hypothesis, but that doesn't make Genetics a non-science field. There's a lot we don't understand about bacteria and viruses but that doesn't make microbiology any less of a science than something like anatomy. Something isn't science just because we understand it, what makes it science is the fact that we're making observations and tests on how it works.

Approaching something that is difficult to test on doesn't change it being science. Just because there are many factors that can affect an outcome doesn't mean it's not science. Testing humans when it comes to physical diseases also includes several factors and questionnaires and people potentially not being honest with their answers, but that wouldn't nvalidate epidemiology as a science. We don't understand a lot when it comes to animal behaviour but that doesn't mean natural science isn't a science.

Science is just making hypotheses and observations to get a better understanding of how things works. Science is not defined by how different or difficult experiments can be from one another, morbid it defined by how much we already know or what factors can affect what we're trying to learn.
