Why is psychology harder to study scientifically than behaviour alone?
Mental processes are more objective than behaviour, so require fewer controls.
Mental processes are inferred from behaviour or reports, not directly observed.
Mental processes are directly observed through behaviour, without interpretation.
Mental processes are measured without self-report bias, unlike observable behaviour.
