Psychology differs from other physical sciences because the subject matter of psychology is not always directly observable, and how the findings of psychology research are applied can have moral implications. While experimental methods are used in psychology (attribute 2) and it attempts to isolate fundamental elements (attribute 4), these attributes are shared by other physical sciences, and thus do not distinguish psychology from those fields.
