Abstract: Hierarchical linear models for categorical data are seldom applied in the field of psychological research in China.The study was aimed to show the usage of this approach to psychological research.In this paper, the authors first introduce the principles and assumptions for hierarchical linear models for binary data, the estimation of parameters and the hypothesis testing for the models.Then based on a binary data coming from the Assessment of Elementary School Students' Quality in Beijing, they modeled the hierarchical linear model to illustrate the effects of individual and school level factors on children's aggressive behaviors.

Key words: hierarchical linear model, binary data, aggressive behavior
