Psychology is the science of behavior and mental processes. Debates by early psychologists helped to define psychology as its own branch of science. These early debates include:
1. How should Psychology be defined?
2. What is the proper subject matter of psychology?
3. Which areas of human experience should be studied?
4. what methods should be used to investigate psychological issues?
5. Should psychology include the study of nonhuman animal behavior?
6. Should psychological findings be used to change or enhance behavior?
These debates helped set the tone of the new science, define its scope, and set its limits.
