Differences between Political Science and Psychology: 

Political Science and Psychology are inter – related, but Political Science is not dependent on Psychology only. Political Science has social and economic aspects also. 

The basic differences between these two are as follows:

1. Difference in Scope: 

Political Science studies only external political activities, whereas Psychology studies all the mental activities of man from economic, social, religious and political points of view. 

2. Difference in Nature: 

Political Science is an idealistic science along with being realistic, whereas Psychology studies human behaviour and nature practically. Political Science studies ‘what was’, ‘what is’ and ‘what should be’ in context of political life, where as Psychology studies what was, and what is about mental traits of man. it does not discuss ‘what should be.’ Explaining the difference between the two, political thinker Catlin has rightly said, “Psychology is concerned with mental acts. Political Science is concerned with impulsive or willed acts”.
