April acts out whenever she is asked to do office assistant work such as typing excel spreadsheets, making copies, and running errands. You seem to notice that april has her undergraduate diploma on her desk. Using the four goals of psychology, ask the critical questions you need to ask to figure out what might be the problem. How are we going to change her behavior: in each situation/research problem, explain which way to gather information is most relevant.
