Urie Bronfenbrenner developed a model called the “Ecological Systems Theory” that attempts to explain what factors influence a person’s behavior and which ones have the most impact. The model is broken down into five systems: the “Microsystem”‚ “Mesosystem”‚ “Exosystem”‚ “Macrosystem”‚ and “Chronosystem”. The “Microsystem” is considered the most intimate or most influential level and it consists of the interactions between the person and their family or their close friends. These influences are bidirectional
