Monica is assigned by her teacher to give a presentation in chemistry. She is having trouble deciding which topic she needs to focus on in her presentation. Explain how a means-end analysis would help resolve her problem.
What will be an ideal response?
A means-end analysis is a heuristic in which one identifies the goal (end) of a problem, assesses the current situation, and evaluates what needs to be done (means) to decrease the difference between the two conditions. Another name for means-end analysis is difference reduction. Means-end analysis also can involve the use of subgoaling. Martha can follow these steps while resolving her problem.
