Psychology is the study of behavior. It describes behavior as it is. It does not say whether behavior is good or bad. Also it does not suggest what to do for progressive change in behavior. It always suggests what not to do for change in behavior. According to this view, being realistic positive science, nature of psychology is described as negative. However, psychology studies positive sides of behavior, its applied branches suggest what to do for progressive change in behavior. Its applied branches and tools suggest evaluating whether change in behavior is proper or not. According to me this normative behavior of psychology is also positive. Thus psychology is used more positively.

Psychology is the study of behavior. It describes behavior as it is. It does not say whether behavior is good or bad. Also it does not suggest what to do for progressive change in behavior. It always suggests what not to do for change in behavior. According to this view, being realistic positive science, nature of psychology is described as negative. However, psychology studies positive sides of behavior, its applied branches suggest what to do for progressive change in behavior. Its applied branches and tools suggest evaluating whether change in behavior is proper or not. According to me this normative behavior of psychology is also positive. Thus psychology is used more positively.
