Answer 1

Psychology was a branch of philosophy until the 1870s.

Explanation:

Until the 1870s, psychology was considered a branch of philosophy because it primarily dealt with questions about the human mind, consciousness, and behavior through reasoning and introspection. However, in the late 19th century, Wilhelm Wundt established the first psychology laboratory in 1879, making psychology an independent scientific discipline separate from philosophy.
