Evolutionary pyschology
Just thought I'd post another way that psychology can be thought of as a science. I took an entry level "evolutionary psychology" class in college. The premise was that psychology can be studied as it relates to the evolutionary benefits. In other words, it is studying psychology from a biological, ecological, and evolutionary standpoint. Very interesting class. We studied how abstract concepts like emotions are functional tools of a developed brain. Been a long time since I've studied it though!
