Structuralism was criticized for not being objective

Explanation:

Structuralism approach is to break down the mind into its most basic element in other to study the functions of the brain. The theory was postulated by Wilhelm Wundt and Edward Bradford Titchener.

Researchers using the technique of introspection were exposed to the same stimulus, they often reported different experiences. Even though structuralism suggests that the responses should be similar. Thus, structuralism was criticized for not being objective but rather subjective in most cases.
