lOMoARcPSD|47166518 What is Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological systems theory?

Bronfenbrenner believed that a person’s development was affected by everything in their surrounding

environment. He divided a person’s environment into 5 different levels; the microsystem,
the

mesosystem, the exosystem, the macro system and the chronosystem.

Explain Bronfenbrenner’s Microsystem:

This is the system closest to the person and the one in which they have direct contact. Some examples

would be home, school, day-care, or work. A microsystem typically includes family, peers,
or

caregivers. Relationships in a microsystem are bi-directional. In other words, your reactions to the

people in your microsystem will affect how they treat you in return. This is the most influential level of

, the ecological systems theory.

Explain Bronfenbrenner’s Mesosystem:

- The mesosystem consists of the interactions between the different parts of a person’s

mircrosystem.

- The mesosystem is where a person’s individual microsystems do not function independently,

but are interconnected and assert influence upon one another. These interactions have an

indirect impact on the individual.

o

An individual could be negatively affected if an aspect of their microsystem were

working against one another. i.e, parents not taking an active role in school stuff/with

teacher in discipline

Explain Bronfenbrenner’s Exosystem:

The exosystem refers to a setting that does not involve the person as an active participant, but still

affects them. This includes decisions that have bearing on the person, but in which they have no

participation in the decision-making process. An example: A child being affected by a parent receiving a

promotion at work or losing their job.

lOMoARcPSD|47166518 Explain Bronfenbrenner’s Macrosystem:

The macrosystem encompasses the cultural environment in which the person lives and all other

systems that affect them. Examples could include the economy, cultural values, and political systems.

The macrosystem can have either a positive or negative effect on s person’s development. For example,

the different effects on the development of a child growing up in a 3 rd world economy vs. the USA.

o
