RE: Psychology Addict #24 | Is Psychology a Science?

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

Well, it certainly helps that you happen to post about one of my favorite topics... people and the way people think. Fascinating stuff the study... or rather that science of the mind. I think anytime you collect data to determine cause and effect, it's science.

Even for a serious chef, there's a science to his craft... getting the right ingredients in the right order and amounts. And then, there's also an art to his craft... presenting the food in a way that looks pleasing. To which, for both, I lack the drive to cook in such a way that there is science or art. Just sustenance.

In a long round about way, what I mean to say is that for naysayers who don't believe that psychology is a science, the simple explanation could be that psychology to them is like cooking is for me. 😳
