Study Notes
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory
- Urie Bronfenbrenner refers to the immediate environment as the microsystem, where individuals experience daily interactions and relationships.
- Characteristics NOT associated with the microsystem include broader social influences or structures that do not directly interact with the individual.
- Developmental psychologists commonly use the term environmental settings and relationships to describe immediate contexts similar to the microsystem.
Mesosystem
- The mesosystem consists of the network of interconnections between different microsystems, such as home, school, and peer interactions.
Impact of Parental Relationships
- A child's experience of abusive treatment from parents can negatively impact their relationships with teachers, potentially leading to distrust or behavioral issues in educational settings.
- A parent's longer working hours may result in reduced quality time with their child, which can weaken their emotional bond and affect communication.
Exosystem
- An example of an exosystem includes community resources, like local businesses or social services, that indirectly influence the individual but are not part of their direct environment.
- Aspects NOT considered part of the exosystem might include interactions within the immediate family or close friendships.
Macrosystem
- The macrosystem represents overarching cultural, economic, and political systems that shape the environment, including customs, values, and laws that impact the individual.
Chronosystem
- The chronosystem reflects the dimension of time, encompassing both individual life transitions (such as moving homes) and broader historical changes (like societal shifts in norms).
- An example of the chronosystem in individual development might include significant life events like parental divorce, while historical changes can be reflected in societal events such as economic recessions.
Academic Stress in Asian Countries
- In countries like South Korea, a significant source of academic stress for adolescents is the intense pressure to succeed in standardized testing and competitive academic environments.
Socio-Economic Systems
- Countries with economic and governmental systems based on Islamic teachings are those that intertwine religious principles with civic governance.
- A free-market economic system paired with a representative democracy emphasizes economic freedom alongside elected representation.
