<p>The question is not which of mathematics and psychology is more quantitative, but which of economics and psychology is more quantitative.</p>
<p>But while you bring this up – yes, I think a course that strongly utilizes the scientific method would, in general, inherently be more quantitative than a course that doesn’t*.</p>
<p>*Not to say that economics doesn’t use a scientific method. It does, and econometrics courses that teach empirical analysis are extremely necessary to the economic researcher. Even experimental economics is being taught at some undergraduate departments. Still, I think you can definitely say that psychology uses the scientific method far more often than economics does (which is basically what I said in my first post)</p>
