Level of analysis refer to the views of ourselves that reside at different levels of conscious awareness. Level of analysis also refers to the specific focus of study chosen from a graded or nested sequence of possible foci. An individual-level analysis examines specific individuals in the group, a group-level analysis focuses on the group as a unit, and an organized level examines the individual nested in the group, which is, in turn, nested in the organizational context.

Level of arousal in the psychology context refers to the degree of physiological and psychological activation or alertness an individual experiences at any given moment. It involves the state of being awake and responsive to stimuli, which can range from deep sleep or relaxation at the low end to high excitement or anxiety at the high end. The concept of arousal is crucial in understanding how people perform tasks, respond to stress, and manage emotions.
Level of significance refers to the statistical probability required by scientists to say it is unlikely that an observed characteristic of a sample is due to chance rather than being true of the underlying population.
Levels-of-processing theory of memory is an alternative to the modal view of memory, proposed by Craik and Lockhart, that postulates that memory depends not on a particular memory store but on the initial processing done to the information at the time of acquisition. "Shallow" or "superficial" levels of processing, as in the processing at the level of visual shape or acoustic sound are thought to lead to less retention than "deeper" levels of processing such as in processing done on the meaning of the information.
