Who first used the term psychology?

  1. Wilhelm Wundt

  2. Sigmund Freud

  3. Carl Jung

  4. William James

The correct answer is: Wilhelm Wundt

Wilhelm Wundt is considered the founder of modern psychology because he established the first psychological laboratory in Germany in 1879. Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung are also well-known figures in psychology, but they were not the first to use the term. William James, although a pioneer in American psychology, did not use the term "psychology" to refer to the scientific study of behavior and the mind.
