Usage of the framework of Level of Analysis to understand human behaviour.
The human behaviour is often noted as scientific behaviour in its orientation.
Therefore, the human conduct has often been an interesting point of observation for the
psychologists and over the time they have developed certain tools to understand and evaluate
and cognize the ways of behaving that is found among the human society (Klöckner. 2013).
The three major tools for analysis that have been developed by the psychologists are,
Biological, Psychological and Environmental analytical tools to understand the levels of
behaviour of the human beings.
The Biological level of analysis (BLA) includes the behaviours and emotions and
cognitions of the human beings, having a psychological base (Kruglanski and Higgins. 2013).
They are of the opinion that, certain anatomic structure and physiology of a person determine
the behavioural output and the emotional balance or imbalance. They have analysed it further
stating that certain pituitary processes and hormonal changes provide the basis for biological
analysis and illicit certain behavioural approaches. This can be included as a reductionist
approach since it involves complexity behaviour approaches and break them into smaller
approaches to study and cognize and evaluate them better (Martinez and Kesner. 2014).
The cognitive level of analysis (CLA) on the other hand, views the mental processes
and understandings and the way that influence upon the behaviours of people. They do not
look at the brain structures rather, they view the background and psychological
understandings of the person and the influences of the same on their behaviour (Sternberg
and Sternberg. 2016). Human perception, attention, memory, thinking and brain processes
and language are included as the subject matter in this orientation (Barsalou, 2014). This
process basically refers to how human beings capitulate and cognize the available
information and the way they put the same into use. The psychologists viewing this process
of analysis is of the opinion that the processing of information and representation of the
