Child‚ Family & Society Steven Peters 12/16/2011 Bio ecological Model of Human Development The bio ecological model of human development has four basic systems. The four basic systems are macrosystems‚ exosystems‚ microsystems‚ and mesosystems. I will summarize the four systems and how the influences have on a child’s development. I will describe how the four systems in the model differ from oneother. I will provide examples of the four systems of their relationships and interactions

Systems Theory developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner‚ has helped people today understand why certain behaviors happen in the presence of different environments throughout our lifespan. The theory is broken down into five layers‚ the microsystem‚ the mesosystem‚ the exosystem‚ the macrosystem‚ and the chronosystem. The first innermost layer is the microsystem. This layer is the immediate environment children live in. It’s the child’s family‚ friends‚ teachers‚ neighbors and anyone else who

systems theory to explain how everything in a child and the child’s environment affects how a child grows and develops. He labeled different aspects or levels of the environment that influence children’s development‚ including the microsystem‚ the mesosystem‚ the exosystem‚ and the macrosystem. The microsystem is the small‚ immediate environment the child lives in. Children’s microsystems will include any immediate relationships or organizations they interacts with‚ such as their immediate family or

interact with‚ such as their immediate family and their school. How these interact with the child will have an effect on how the child grows; the more encouraging and nurturing these relationships are‚ the better the child will be able to grow. The mesosystem‚ describes how the different parts of a child’s microsystem work together. If a child’s parents take an active role in school‚ such as going to parent-teacher meetings and attending shows‚ this will help the child’s overall growth. However‚ if the

Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory and Family Ecological Model can be used to talk about alcohol and substance abusing parents and their children to demonstrate the bi-directional influences between the parent’s alcohol or substance abuse and the system’s in the family’s environment. This theory views families and their surroundings as a family ecosystem in which the family or an individual are influenced by the “systems” in that environment and the family or individual’s interactions with the systems

(1971-2005) created the ecological theory based on different levels to indicate how a child’s environment affects his/her development as well as minor and major life decisions. Bronfenbrenner categorized his theory into four levels: the microsystem‚ the mesosystem‚ the exosystem‚ and the macrosystem. Each level of the theory plays a role in the decision making process and situations throughout a child’s development‚ which ultimately shape that child into a content‚ happy‚ bitter or sad adult. The microsystem

of human development that Urie Bronfenbrenner developed gives light to the fundamental impact that social interactions and environment have in human development. He describes four distinct systems that are the most influential: microsystems‚ mesosystems‚ exosystems‚ and macrosystems. Bronfenbrenner’s theory proposes that the four types of environments all simultaneously influence an individual. He suggests that people cannot fully understand human development without considering how a person

responsible for the child’s initial exposure to the world and offers the child a large portion of their knowledge of the world. The family and caregiver’s help influence the child’s personality. The mesosystem connects two or more systems in which the child‚ parent‚ and family live. Mesosystems provide the connection between structures of the child’s microsystem. For example‚ the connection between the child’s parents and their teacher. The exosystem refers to the large social system in which

BRONFENBRENNER’S ECOLOGICAL THEYORY OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Urie Bronfenbrenner was a psychologist who was born in 1917‚ and he was regarded as one of the world’s leading scholars in the field of developmental psychology. His ecological systems theory holds that development reflects the influence of several environmental systems‚ and it identifies five environmental systems with which an individual interacts. He analyzed four types of systems that aid in human development‚ they include the microsystem
