</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The necessity for microfoundations for the social sciences derives from the assumption that the explanation of higher-level phenomena requires the formulation of mechanisms that include
 the workings of lower-level phenomena. I will argue that for the formulation of these mechanisms in the social sciences we need theories on the micro level (i.e. microfoundational theories) that include mechanisms of the
<i>production</i> of meso and macro-level phenomena by people themselves, rather than just by the researcher (through aggregation or creating indices). I will discuss two such microfoundational theories: Goal-framing theory and Social Production Function (SPF)
 theory.&nbsp; Both theories are embedded in what has been called &#8220;social rationality&#8221;, i.e. the fact that for humans, the rational (goal-directed) abilities co-evolved with the social abilities of joint production and co-regulation.
