5 goals of psychology?

1 answer:

4 0

1. Describe - the first goal is to observe behavior and describe.
2. Explain - While descriptions come from observable data, psychologists must go beyond what is obvious and explain their observations. In other words, why did the subject do what he or she did?
3. Predict - Once we know what happens, and why it happens, we can begin to speculate what will happen in the future.
4. Control - Once we know what happens, why it happens and what is likely to happen in the future, we can excerpt control over it
5. Improve - Not only do psychologists attempt to control behavior, they want to do so in a positive manner, they want to improve a person’s life, not make it worse.
