There is a debate that began over in the members forum about the reliability of psychological tests. The emphasis was on replication cross-culturally. So, I was thinking that we can turn this into a larger debate and then work our way into the nitty gritties. To start the debate I ask you guys/girls
1. Do you consider psychology a science? why
2. Is Psychology more or less of a science in comparison to other fields such as physics, biology? why
3. What are the strengths and weaknesses of psychology?
Feel free to expand on or single out any questions.
