Abstract
Multilevel models, or hierarchic-lineal models, are one of the most interesting models generated in recent years in quantitative research analysis methodologies. This article aims to present these models through their application in research. In this manner, the study presents an analysis of the foundations for multilevel models. The modeling process is analyzed in a real-life sample, concluding with a reflection about the contributions and utilities of this methodology of analysis.
