Epistemology
Epistemology (Greek episteme, knowledge + logos, study) is the branch of philosophy that studies the nature, sources and limits of knowledge, the justification of beliefs and the rationality of belief. Its classic question is what distinguishes knowledge from mere true belief (e.g. 'justified true belief').
In psychology, epistemological positions such as empiricism, rationalism and constructivism shape how researchers think valid knowledge about the mind is obtained.
Etymology is the study of the origin of words; pragmatism is a particular philosophical school (Peirce, James, Dewey) judging ideas by their practical consequences; philosophy is the whole discipline, of which epistemology is one branch.
Hence, the answer is Epistemology.
