I cordially invite @Dee to engage in a formal Lincoln-Douglas Debate concerning the nature of psychology: whether it is a science or not. I will present the Affirmative Constructive, asserting that psychology is an esteemed academic discipline, fundamentally characterized as the scientific study of the mind and behavior. My argument will be bolstered by extensive academic literature. Conversely, Dee will present the Negative Constructive, arguing that psychology leans more towards pseudoscience.
