Editor's Notes

  1. Psychologists assume that behavior is governed by discernible laws or principles; these just need to be uncovered. The goals of the scientific enterprise of psychology are: To measure and describe a phenomenon, for example sociability. To understand and predict…psychologists form hypotheses about how variables interact. A hypothesis is a tentative statement about the relationship between 2 or more variables. Variables are the things that are observed or controlled in a study. To apply and control…information gathered by scientists may be of some practical value in helping to solve problems in schools, businesses, mental health centers, etc.
