Question 1
The interaction between biographical factors and the environment is a central tenet of the
ecological systems model of human development, as proposed by Urie Bronfenbrenner.
According to this model, individuals' experiences are shaped by the various
environmental systems in which they are embedded, and these experiences, in turn,
influence their development. The ecological systems model posits four environmental
systems (microsystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem) that interact with
biographical factors to shape individual development.
The first level of influence in the ecological systems model is the microsystem, which
consists of the immediate environment in which the individual functions. This includes
family, peers, and other close relationships. Biographical factors such as personality and
frame of reference interact with the microsystem to shape the individual's experiences.
For example, a child who is outgoing and sociable may seek out social interactions and
thus be influenced by their peer group, while a more introverted child may have a different
set of experiences within the same microsystem.
