Study Notes
Dr. Urie Bronfenbrenner
- American psychologist (1917-2005) who developed the Ecological Systems Theory.
- Focused on the quality and context of a child's environment in their development.
Ecological Systems Theory
- Describes interactions between individuals and their environment influencing development.
- Organized into five levels of external influence from intimate (Microsystem) to broad (Macrosystem).
Microsystem
- The most immediate environment, including personal relationships with family, classmates, and teachers.
- Influences growth based on interactions within this environment.
Mesosystem
- Represents the interconnectedness of various microsystems, like home-school or peer-family relationships.
- Examples include:
- Parent-teacher relationships affecting academic performance and behavior.
- Interaction between a child's friends and their family dynamics.
Exosystem
- Encompasses settings that do not directly involve children but still influence their experiences.
- Examples include:
- Parents' workplaces and the impact of social media on parenting styles.
- Organizational decisions (like those made by a university board) affecting students indirectly.
Macrosystem
- The broadest level, comprising cultural values, beliefs, and socio-political contexts.
- Influential in contexts such as:
- Gender roles defined by cultural expectations (e.g., traditional domestic roles).
- The role of social media shaping societal norms and trends.
Chronosystem
- Considers the dimension of time and its impact on environments and personal experiences.
- Affects individuals through:
- Life transitions such as becoming a parent or experiencing divorce, with timing altering effects.
- Significant life events like the arrival of a sibling or retirement.
Integration of Systems
- An individual's major life choices (educational paths) are influenced by various systems:
- Self: Personal attributes like intelligence and motivation.
- Microsystem: Family expectations and financial support.
- Mesosystem: Recommendations from family friends about educational opportunities.
- Exosystem: External pressures from parental peers or societal expectations.
- Macrosystem: Cultural norms surrounding education.
- Chronosystem: Impact of societal changes (e.g., pandemic) on educational choices.
