Is Psychology a Science?

Issues and Debates:

A perennial question, both inside and outside Psychology, is whether or not it can be considered a science. This film:

• explains the scientific method
• illustrates its application in psychology
• shows how not all questions in psychology, particularly those involving peoples’ experiences and behaviour in real world situations, can be answered this way.

 

The final part of the film advises students on techniques for answering “psychology and science” questions.
