Gabriel has now learned that these goals are to <u>describe, explain, predict, and control </u>behavior.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The study of mind and behavior of a person is known as psychology. Describe, explain, predict and control are the four main goals of psychology.
<u>Describe</u>: The behavior of a person should be observed and described in detail minutely.
<u>Explain</u>: However the descriptions come from observable data, psychologists must go beyond the data and explain their observations.
<u>Predict</u>: We should be ready to predict what will happen in future.
<u>Control</u>: We should be ready to control the happenings, once we know what happens, why it happens and what will happen in the future.
