Scientists think they are more rational and objective than others think they are

To be honest, trying to understand how the human brain works in interaction with the environment is probably among the most difficult things that researchers can hope to do. The amount of error in all our measures ensures that we are only ever sniffing at the truth. It makes psychology a pretty difficult science to do and defend especially when you are trying to find a reliable and valid way to measure subjective experience. I see no problem with psychology being described as a natural science.
