Psychology is a science. 

Therefore, in psychology, we use tests, surveys, experiments, and other research methods, in order to collect data and learn more about how humans think and behave. 

Someone who has a general interest in human behavior doesn't have to be a scientist. 
They don't necessarily use research methods, or collect data and information. 

Does that make sense?
