Psychologists rely on the scientific method primarily for reasons 3 and 4. The scientific method allows psychologists to study and understand complex phenomena such as human feelings and sensations in a systematic and objective manner. By following the scientific method, psychologists can ensure that their research methods are rigorous and unbiased, leading to accurate and reliable data collection. This emphasis on accuracy and objectivity enhances the validity and credibility of psychological research. It is not specifically because of Wilhelm Wundt or to gain recognition from other psychologists, although these factors may be secondary considerations.
