Levels of analysis in psychology

[DrGachet]

I am interested in psychology or philosophy papers on bridging the levels of analysis in psychological research. So between biological, cognitive, and socio-cultural levels of explanation for behavior or disorder. I would appreciate if you know of researchers or quality papers in this area. I am exploring this area and so I can not be more specific. I am not interested in empirical research about practicality of bridging these levels but more the conceptual side of things. Thx.

Ken Wilber has written quite a few books on integrating different theoretical perspectives. Likewise, his Wikipedia entry will lead you to the names of many other integral scholars.

Try Willis Overton and Hayne Reese. They write more aimed towards human development and developmental psych. but it may give you a nice overview.
