abstract = {The proliferation of research production in Psychology as a science has been increasing
exponentially. This situation leads to the necessity of organizing the research production
into different levels of analysis that make it possible to delimit each research domain.
The objective of this analysis is to clearly distinguish the different levels of research:
micro-analysis, molecular, and molar. Each level is presented, along with an analysis
of its benefits and limitations. Next, this analysis is applied to the topics of Executive
Functions, Self-Regulation, and External Regulation. Conclusions, limitations, and
implications for future research are offered, with a view toward a better connection of
research production across the different levels, and an allusion to ethical considerations},
