Science and Psychology

Science, just when we can call any subject a science? A science is a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or thruths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws.

Psychology, is a science that gather facts systematically, organizes them into general principles and formulates theories out of these factual data.

In sciences as in Psychology, theories are formulated. When facts are gathered to explain mutation, we form biological theories whereas when we attempt to explain mutationas a causative factor of behavior, we formulate instead, a psychological theory.

In the scinces, as in psychology, these theories are constantly revised in the light of newly researched facts that may contradict earlier theories, a great deal of scientific and psychological endeavor is directed toward the acquisistion of new research data. Observable events called phenomena are collected through research. These are painstakingly and carefully measured by the psychologist with precise and accurately measuring devices which preludes guesswork.
