In my school AP Pysch was listed as a social studies elective which I do not understand why it's social studies elective and not science?? Also is Pyschology more similar to Biology or History???
Will my Bio Grade or History Grade Determine Performance for AP Pysch
From what I have heard it is under a social studies elective because it deals with the logic of action/reaction which is more history related than bio. However in practice the course will be more of a science course.
Ideally I will take AP Pshyc in my senior year so this is just some information I have collected from other seniors so this might not be the best answer.

Psychology is a very broad field, it can range from hardcore biology ( Biopsych & Neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, animal behavior/ behavioral ecology) to applied biology and applied social science ( Psychopathology, cognitive science, developmental psychology) and then to purely social science ( Social Psychology). It fundamentally is a social science because its main interest is to dissect behavior and cognition, but it of all the social science is likely the most truly scientific and similar to biology.
I personally am both a psychology major and a neurophysiology major and I can say that they draw from each other a lot.
