2. Contextual model
This theory is based on Bronfenbrenner’s
model:
microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem and
macrosystem (anything that influences the
child: friends, family, neighbours, society as
a whole).
Contextual model as stated by Sameroff:
,(biology vs psychology) more emphasis in
the parent.
3. Regulation model
This model is meant to indicate that all
these subsystems will always be interacting

- Children regulate themselves
(the biological processes, how
the environment may impact
him/her).
- The model shows how systems
get interlinked to maintain
stability or produce change
(called negative and positive
feedback).
- Negative feedback stability: when
you are tired (+), you must go to
sleep. And when you less tired
(-), you will sleep less.
- Positive feedback change: when
more women have children (+),
the population increases. And as
the population increases, more
children are born.
4. Representational model
Where an individual’s here and now in the
world is given a timeless existence in
thought.
A dialectical yin-yang:
Unity of opposites: Development will not

Interpretation of opposites: One’s nature
changes ones nurture and ones nurture
changes one's nature.
