What is THE scientific method in psychology?
as opposed to A scientific method in psychology…? Well the scientific method is going to be virtually the same in psychology as the other social sciences. We only take seriously that which is falsifiable, or that which is possible to prove wrong. This throws theories like like Freud’s out, because there is no way to test them. So you say you know the scientific method. Just apply that to things that psychology covers. Hypotheses, controls, variables, yada yada…
