RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Psychology, unlike chemistry and biology, is not an experimental science. Psychologists begin a study by forming a hypothesis. Psychologists use a variety of research methods to study behavior and mental processes. A hypothesis is an educated guess.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the end of the day, psychology is a science, just like biology or chemistry–or particle physics. But there is plenty of pseudoscience out there-self-help books and advice columns and websites that make claims about psychology that are totally false. And it can be hard to separate fact from fiction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because psychology often does not meet the five basic requirements for a field to be considered scientifically rigorous: clearly defined terminology, quantifiability, highly controlled experimental conditions, reproducibility and, finally, predictability and testability.
