Describe , Explain ,Predict , Change

Explanation:

The first goal of scientific research to describe the behavior. by describing behavior we better understand the nature of the mind of human behavior and animal behavior. after describing the nature of behavior we explain that behavior. Why do people behave in such a particular manner? then to predict the nature of how we think and act in such a manner and we use that information in prediction about why, where, when this nature will happen in the future. finally, the researcher strives to change, influence or control behavior to make the behavior long-lasting and enhance human wellbeing, to modify the behavior.
