what is one goal of using the scientific method in psychology?
○ to predict the future
○ to interpret dreams
○ to prove one’s personal opinion is true
○ to explain the ways people behave

Explanation:

The scientific method in psychology aims to systematically study behavior and mental processes. Predicting the future is not a primary goal of psychological science. Interpreting dreams is more associated with psychoanalysis (not the scientific method's core goal here). Proving personal opinions is not scientific (science seeks objective evidence, not validating opinions). Explaining behavior is a key goal of using the scientific method in psychology to understand why people act as they do.

Answer:

D. to explain the ways people behave
