Preferred term

levels of analysis  

Definition

  • Although groups necessarily contain individuals and have some relation to the larger institutional, cultural, and societal forces around them, group processes occur at the group level of analysis rather than at the individual or societal level. Likewise, intergroup processes are those that occur between groups, rather than between individuals or within a group, institution, culture, or society. [Source: Encyclopedia of Group Processes & Intergroup Relations; Levels of Analysis]
