Guys am guessing I need to explain both sided of the argument, while some people consider it a science amd others do not ?

Haha, back on topic.

Yes, you do. You need to give an objective, informed evaluation supported with relevant evidence and testimony as to why the argument that Psychology should be regarded as a Science or a pseudo-Science.

You will have to consider the arguments put forth for each argument and evaluate both to reach a decision and give valid reasons for that decision.

What is the actual full question?

The title is the exact full question, I have 2 others as well, but think am gona struggle to get info for one of them

Back to google I go ..........

Ok to the orignal OP start something and we will add to it, go....

Edit: Above comment, how can you not understand that??????????

Ok ....

Some people consider psychology to be a science because it involves a theory which is then evaluated by doing a experiment ?

Some people on the overlcokersuk forum dont consider it a science so it cant be ?
