Abstract
The article presents a recent extension of the levels of explanation model initially presented by Doise (1982a, 1986). This extension now also includes a neurological level and an intersocietal level. The latter proved to be useful for explaining recent developments in the study of universal rights. The system/metasystem model initially proposed by Moscovici (1961, 2008) is also further extended. Its application to the judicial realm leads to new interpretations of Milgram's obedience experiments and of Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment. Several studies also show the intervention of metasystems in attitudes toward social solidarity. Finally, complete sets of social psychological research articles in Italian and Portuguese journals may be exhaustively coded when using principles derived from the above models.
