Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. The scientific discipline of psychology is so much more than that. Presently, the experimental investigation into thought and behavior follows the basic principles of scientific inquiry prescribed in other fields of science. Regular people, in their everyday lives, frequently ponder these and other topics using speculation, subjective arguments, conversations with others, personal experiences, and the information heard through social media or news sources. The difficulty in finding an adequate definition of science is also shared by scientists and philosophers. Many scientists specify the collection of facts, the use of experimentation as a method of “proof,” the use of theories as tentative explanations, and so on, as prerequisites for a field to be labeled a science. The law of gravity and the experiments upon which it is based serve as examples of two levels of scientific inquiry that are critical to science.
