No.The clue is in the use of completely different subject names. Compare the situation to, say, physics, which is not the same as chemistry, or indeed biology; and history is not the same as geography.

Psychology is concerned with human behaviour and the mind, while sociology is concerned with societies.

"Psychology is the study about the individual while sociology is more about the society as a whole. Psychology studies how the individual functions within society while sociology studies how the society functions for the individual".
- A rather nice summary.


They're similar but not quite the same.
