Under other sciences, I noticed there's no psychology or sociology subforum. Aren't these branches of science?

I'd say it is an empiric science, where neurology is the attempt to turn it into an inductive science.BWV said:Is psychology a real science or a social science?
symbolipoint said:Look at the organization of this forum's boards. Where do you believe a Psychology question or topic should fit? If you feel you want to post something of Psychology, then ask yourself:
- Can my question fit in the Other Sciences section, in the Biology And Medical subforum?
- Can my question fit in the Lounge/The Root Square section, in the Art, Music, History, Linguistics subforum?
- Does the question maybe not fit into either of those?
Now decide how to place your question.
Understand that Physicsforums is geared toward Natural Sciences; not necessarily toward Behavioral Sciences. Psychology is not a very strong fit to S.T.E.M. The S part of the acronym typically calls for the Natural Sciences not including the behavioral sciences.
The decision to create or not create a subforum for psychology is ultimately up to the administrators of the website. They may have determined that there is not enough demand or activity in the psychology field to warrant a separate subforum.
Yes, you can make a request to the administrators to create a psychology subforum. However, they may or may not fulfill your request depending on various factors such as website traffic and community interest.
Yes, there may be other forums or discussion boards dedicated to psychology that you can join and participate in. You can also create a discussion thread in a related subforum or category on this website to discuss psychology topics.
It is impossible to say for certain whether or not a psychology subforum will be created in the future. It ultimately depends on the growth and demand for psychology-related discussions on this website.
Yes, you are free to discuss psychology topics in relevant subforums or categories on this website. However, please be mindful of the forum rules and guidelines when starting a discussion in a non-psychology subforum.
