In the nineteenth century Wilhelm Wundt attempted to shape the new discipline of psychology along the lines of physics because in his era physics was admired as a model science Why?

Wilhelm Wundt shaped his new discipline of psychology around the idea that the constituent parts of human consciousness is identified the same way a chemical compound is broken up into various elements like that of Chemistry or Physics. Physics was a fundemental science explaining questions through mathematical reasoning and equations. This belief as a result of being structured into segments became known as structuralism.


Is child psychology the same as developmental psychology?

Not really. Developmental psychology studies the development of the human mind. That is, how the psychology develops, changes, and comes to be. Also, in developmental psychology, usually, you study the development of the healthy mind in the belief that deviations from a normative (healthy) development gives rise to psychopathology (the unhealthy mind if you will). Child psychology is not really that interested in the normative. They focus mostly on the pathological child, and how to steer a pathological development in a more normative direction. Another distinction is that developmental psychology is a branch of theoretical psychology, whereas child psychology is a branch of clinical psychology.

Differentiate supertisues from science?

Did you mean "Differentiate superstition from science?" and if so, superstition is what science cannot explain as of now. Many beliefs are classified as superstitious by scientists (rationalists), for example belief in the bad luck of number 13. Belief in the association of black color with evil. If you meant supertissues, they are very much part of science and probably relate to the creation of synthetic material for replacement of tissues in humans and animals. Whether as of now any such creation exists, I can't answer off hand. So, you need to clarify your question. Best wishes. Swamy

Why social psychology is a science and not psychology?

Any answer to this question will depend upon how science is perceived. Regardless of how science is perceived, claiming that something is a science because it studies something is invalid. For example consider the claim that 'ghostology' is a science because it studies ghosts. Consequently, just because psychology studies mentality (or behaviour) doesn't mean that it is a science. Indeed Immanuel Kant, the German philosopher, contended, wrongly, that psychology couldn't become a science because (supposedly) the mind can't be studied. The International Council for Science (ICSU) will have its perception of science. My guess is that it is considered a science because it employs the "scientific method" for inquiry.
