"the
science of the mind or of mental states and processes"
Psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Psychology is an academic and applied discipline that involves the
scientific study of mental functions and behaviors."
it probably depends on what area of psychology you study...
if you are doing research on interpreting dreams, then it's probably debatable if that is science...
if you are doing "pavlov's dogs"-type of experiments, it's hard to argue that those experiments are not scientific...
