Psychology Addict #24 | Is Psychology a Science?

in psychology •  7 years ago 

Psychology is a SCIENCE and it's important to emphasize this! Students in undergraduate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programs often tune out psychology as belonging in STEM, but I can assure you that is not the case. Psychology is the "S" in STEM, and it rightfully deserves to be acknowledged. The research that is collected, whether it comes from a naturalistic setting or a laboratory setting is then analyzed using software such as SPSS. This is how researchers can find correlations of statistical significance. I want students to stop feeling disparaged in the field, and rather embrace the broad field and the many attributions that arise from it.

Thank you for adding this piece of information to this debate @nibbo. I am beginning to think that I could write a whole series addressing this question!
