Levels of Analysis
We can examine behaviour at biological, psychological, and environmental levels.
Biological level - brain functioning, hormones, and genetic factors.
Psychological level- how thought, memory, planning, motives, personality traits, etc. influence behaviour. These are individual factors.
Environmental level- how behavioural, social, and cultural influence behaviour. These are more group-level factors. Can also include how the physical environment influences behaviour.
