Yes. It's just that currently it's filled with a plethora of flawed ideas. There is a spot among the sciences for psychology as a field of study, and it's steadily gaining rigor. It's simply far less mature than other fields

Did it for you:

Psychology 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.

You can't because it is a science. It's called soft science.

This. It's a maturing discipline. You think the hard sciences were this rigorous in their infancy?

OP needs to grow up instead of trying to make himself feel better by shitting on subjects.

To prove something like that you’d need to know more than phds in the field. You can’t really call it a pseudo science since the bedrock of psychology is IQ. If you think it’s a pseudo science then you deny iq then you dismiss all of psychology. I’m guessing you are a newfag here

It follows trivially from Lakatosian epistemology.

>soft science
There's no such thing. If such a thing exists then the bible is alsona soft science since it contains a lot of psychological tests
