TOPIC: Relationship between Psychology and
Other Sciences
Psychology is primarily concerned with the experience
and behavior of an individual. Sociology, on the other
hand, is concerned with the role that an individual plays
in society. Social psychology deals with the collective
behavior.
Psychology and Physical Sciences:
Psychology is the study of an individual's experience.
However, experience presupposes the existence of a true
duality of subject and object. Psychology studies the
nature of physical stimuli in connection to knowing and
willing, and in order to effectively account for them, it
, must research the nature of mental processes such as
knowing, feeling, and willing.
However, when it comes to the treatment of physical
objects, there is a distinction between psychology and
physical sciences. Physical sciences look into the nature
of physical stimuli that aren't related to a specific person.
Psychology, on the other hand, analyses the nature of an
individual's relationship with physical stimuli.
Psychology and Biology:
Psychology is a science of the experience and behavior.
However experience cannot be adequately explained
without the concomitant physiological processes. The
environment acts on the mind through the sense-organs;
and the mind reacts to the environment through the
muscles. The sense-organs and muscles are organs of the
body. So mental processes are closely related to bodily
processes.
