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