Answer 2

1). The answer is Measurement, all the other aspects for the goals of psychology are the importance of our lifestyle, and since it's always our routine then we can't complain in what we observe.

2). Psychologists need to decide how they will ________ the phenomenon they are interested in so that they can describe that phenomenon.
- Psychologists need to decide how they will predict so that the phenomenon they are interested in so that they can describe the phenomenon. This type of reason is to know what we are explaining about and how our casual observations leads to everything what are chances might be.

3). The form of research that is accurate to use is the "casual observation" because to know your expectations, you must do your theories at the same as observation goes. Because that is how you will know your expected answers. With some questions that aren't enough to obligate to its benefit.

Conclusion, is that observations are most likely your advantage to higher expectations. But if the expectations that you acquire doesn't comes as it was then there is also a possible way to adjust to reach that rescource. Comes again to a cycle.
