Yes, psychology is a science in that it often involves the scientific method and is data-driven. The "but" is because I think there is a prevailing notion in the US that sciences are superior to other ways of knowing... which is arguable related to colonization and can prioritize observable, physiological, behavioral data over people's lived experiences.

Yes!

Yes and No. Yes is because there has been theoretical foundation and professional training established as a science. No is because it still has large gap to be filled in terms of understanding the mind of human beings and searching for the meaning of life.

Although I think we still have some work to do in terms of effectively communicating our findings and generalizing them in appropriate ways.

YES! My training has taught me to approach psychology as a scientist, using data to make applied decisions.

YES. It seems like it this should be a question at this point in history. Just like any other discipline, there are better and worse scientists, practices, and of course there are ongoing debates and

yes, but whether or not it's scientific should not decide whether or not its useful or valid.

Two notes: 1) although the field may not have mastered how to operationalize and measure all concepts, e.g. before MRI we were not able to see the physical effects of meditation on the brain... & 2) Implicit in the question seems to be, is Psychology important or at least as important, as other scientific fields? And my answer to that is, still Yes. And it doesn't necessarily have to be "scientific" to be important. But we live in a world of categories with the need to fit into a categorical hierarchy, and thus, the continual debate and effort to make Psychology scientific. However, still nonetheless, I think it is scientific.
