Answer:

1800s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Psychology as a separate discipline was emerged during the late 1800s. Before this philosophy and psychology were studied as one discipline. Philosophy is the study based on observations and logic whereas psychology is based on the study of scientific methods to understand human thoughts and behavior.

The world's first psychology lab was opened by the German psychologist Wilhelm Wundt in 1879. Wilhelm Wundt, in 1874, published his book "Principles of Physiological Psychology" in which he outlined the relation between the studies of physiology and psychology.
