When we talk about “science” as only one way to explain nature, and psychology, in particular, as one way to explain human behavior, what do you think this means? Can you think of other ways that we have used to explain behavior?

Empiricism emphasizes objective and precise measurement. Psychology is a science because it follows the empirical method.
