HLM originated in the mid-1980s in the fields of educationalmeasurement and sociology and has been applied to other domains as the idea of individuals orobjects, nested in groups, can explain additional variability of a phenomenon [9]. HLM is aregression-based approach that allows a hierarchical partitioning of variance. HLM provides away for examining higher-level effects on lower-level relationships. Researchers
