What are the Levels of Analysis?

    The biological level of analysis deals with the physical body's contribution to mind and behavior (e.g., brain injury, down syndrome, etc.).
    The individual level of analysis deals with the personal characteristics and differences (e.g., gender, development, age, etc.).
    The social level of analysis deals with how and who and individual interacts in relationships and groups.
    The cultural level of analysis deals with the environment that the individual was raised in (e.g., beliefs, symbols, ethnicity, religion, etc.).

     Using music as an example, a person who listens to country, could be analyzed from the levels considering whether or not he grew up or is exposed to it on a regular basis, whether or not is a popular genre of music in his community, or the fact of if he even likes the music.
