Question:

A weakness of psychology as a science?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-not all approaches are objective methods -Eg: the humanistic approach is anti-scientiic and does not attemtp to formulate general laws of behaviour. Concerned with documenting unique, subjective experience -The psychodynamic approach makes use of the case study method, open to bais and no attempt made to gather a representative sample -Many claim that a scientific study of human thought and experience may not always be desirable or possible
