Question: 1 / 215

In what year was psychology formally established as an academic discipline?

1920

1875

1881

1892

Psychology was formally established as an academic discipline in 1892 when American philosopher and psychologist William James opened the first psychology laboratory at Harvard University. Option A (1920), B (1875), and C (1881) are all incorrect because they do not align with the established date of 1892. Option B (1875) is too early, Option C (1881) is before James' establishment of the first psychology lab, and Option A (1920) is too late. It should also be noted that while psychology as a discipline has roots dating back to ancient Greece, it was not formally established until the late 19th century. Therefore, Option B (1875) may seem like a plausible answer, but it is not entirely accurate.
