In this problem we need to discuss four goals of psychology.
00:05
So we have four goals of psychology.
00:08
So we're going to break down each one, one by one.
00:11
Alright, so the first goal is to, well it all is about behavior, right? so there's like actual phenomena that humans and animals have, right? that we act in a certain way.
00:22
And so the first thing we want to do is to describe behavior, right? we want to accurately describe what is going on, right? how do we behave? we want to describe it accurately.
00:35
The second thing that we want to do is we want to explain.
00:38
We want to explain why they're doing the thing that they do, right? so we want to explain behavior.
00:44
What is it about our mind that is making us behave in this way, right? and if we can describe it accurately, then we ought to be able to explain it accurately.
00:54
The next thing we want to be able to do is to predict, right? we want to be able to say, well, since we understand, we're able to describe it and to explain it...
