This paper is a review of fifty years of attempting, as best one can, to behave as a scientist in occupational psychology. No apologies will be made for calling occupational psychology a science, although how successful that attempt has been is open to discussion. The question is addressed as to what sort of science occupational psychology may be, comparing it with neighbouring and different sciences.
