WHAT ARE THE SCIENTIFIC METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY?

Answers

I'd check an introductory textbook for this--you'll find definitions of psychology and arguments for why it is a science, generally with examples of the research methods. For a review of methods you can also look at a textbook on experimental design, as well as texts on qualitative research in psychology.
