Summary/Abstract: This article aims to analyze the relationships of psychology with science and technology, in order to identify what does the science establish and what does the technique establish in psychology. It highlights the role of the scientific method in psychology, with emphasis on the peculiarity of inductive and hypothetic-deductive methods in the psychological research. There are also examined the "subjective-objective" and "quantitative-qualitative" problems which acquire very special forms in the field of psychology. The connections of psychology with the technique, and especially with the “techniques” are extremely strong and extended. Basically, there is no investigation or practically applicative domain of psychology that does not refer to a specific technique of evaluation, psycho-diagnosis and / or intervention.
