Bronfenbrenner proposed the ecological systems theory to help explain the manner in which the relationships among environmental variables influence developmental behavior (Crandell‚ Crandell‚ & Vander Zanden‚ 2012).

the social environment. A lot of people don’t realize how many different aspects go into shaping how a person develops while growing up. According to Urie Bronfenbrenner‚ there are 5 main systems that influence human development: the microsystem‚ mesosystem‚ exosystem‚ macrosystem and chronosystem. One system that influences the person directly is the microsystem. According to Arnett (2011)‚ “The microsystem is Bronfenbrenner’s term for the immediate environment‚ the settings where people experience

In addition‚ although ecological theory does a good job explaining environmental connections‚ there is scant mention of cognitive factors.” Nature or genetic make-up is referred to by others for example‚ Rothbart‚ who theorized that children
