Bronfenbrenner believes that we cannot fully understand the phenomenon of continuity and bio-psychological characteristics of a child without considering how we are influence by each level of our environment. The 5 levels he mentions are‚ microsystem‚ Mesosystem‚ Exosystem‚ Macrosystem and Chronosystem (Feldman 2011).

The mesosystem is the second structure within Bronfenbrenner’s social ecological model. Bowes & Hayes (1999) describe the mesosystem as the interrelationships between the indivuduals in the microsystem. There is direct collaboration between the individual and their relationships between their microsystem‚ their behaviors‚ expectations and values may differ with different experiences (Bowes‚ Grace & Hayes 2012). Regarding my life transition‚ the relationships between home and school within the

Ecological Systems Theory identifies 5 environmental systems that act with bi-directional influences amongst context and individuals to describe human development. From most intimate to least intimate‚ the components of this theory include: microsystems‚ mesosystems‚ exosystems‚ macrosystems‚ and chronosystems (Berk‚ 2010). This paper will describe how each of these systems shapes an individual’s life progression by analyzing their effects at the ages of twenty-five and forty-five on an interviewee
