Because of the highly subjective questions asked by early philosophers, the scientific community <em>C. </em><em>Took</em><em> a </em><em>skeptical view </em><em>of the emerging field of </em><em>Psychology</em><em>. </em>
Scientific theory is based on objective research which has to be proven by multiple people before it is considered factual. As a result, when the early psychologists arose, scientists were skeptical.
This is why they did not readily accept:
- Wilhelm Wundt with his empirical psychology
- Ivan Pavlov with classical conditioning
- Sigmund Freud with psychoanalysis and,
- B. F. Skinner with behaviorism
As time went by however and a lot of what early psychologists said were proven or improved on, psychology came to be regarded as a science.
In conclusion, psychology had a very rocky start because the scientific community had some doubts about it but it has since become a science that follows the scientific method to come up with theory that is acceptable.
