System Theory. This theory changed the way scientists and psychologists studied human beings and the environments surrounding them. There are five systems included in this theory. They are the microsystem‚ mesosystem‚ exosystem‚ macrosystem‚ and the chronosystem. The microsystem is the first of the five systems that Bronfenbrenner included in his theory. It involves those closest to the child such as family‚ friends‚ teachers‚ or neighbors. This immediate environment develops the child into who they

In this essay I will use the PPCT system to epxain the five systems which are the Microsystem‚ Mesosystem‚ Exosystem‚ Macrosystem and Chronosystem as well as explaning the components. I will also clearly indicate my development using these interrelating systems. I will then sum up and conclude my essay by what I have found as a result of his theory.

ecological systems theory holds that we encounter different environments throughout our lifespan that may influence our behavior in varying degrees. These systems include the micro system‚ the mesosystem‚ the exosystem‚ the macro system‚ and the chronosystem. 1. The Micro System The micro system’s setting is the direct environment we have in our lives. Your family‚ friends‚ classmates‚ teachers‚ neighbors and other people who have a direct contact with you are included in your micro system. The micro

Finally‚ the last system is the chronosystem or “invisible” system. The chronosystem represents the changes that happen within each system over time or the things that stay constant. An example of this could be whether or not the child’s parent or parents decide to get help to treat their substance abuse during

helped people today understand why certain behaviors happen in the presence of different environments throughout our lifespan. The theory is broken down into five layers‚ the microsystem‚ the mesosystem‚ the exosystem‚ the macrosystem‚ and the chronosystem. The first innermost layer is the microsystem. This layer is the immediate environment children live in. It’s the child’s family‚ friends‚ teachers‚ neighbors and anyone else who has a direct contact with that child. However the interactions

From most intimate to least intimate‚ the components of this theory include: microsystems‚ mesosystems‚ exosystems‚ macrosystems‚ and chronosystems (Berk‚ 2010). This paper will describe how each of these systems shapes an individual’s life progression by analyzing their effects at the ages of twenty-five and forty-five on an interviewee‚ Kitty. These ages were chosen specifically because

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‚ meaning that both sides are influenced

According to this theory‚ these relationships are broken down into five levels that represent an individual’s five major interactions during their life; microsystem‚ mesosystem‚ exosystem‚ macrosystem‚ and chronosystem. These five systems are based on the ecological theory that these continually changing environmental systems impact the individual throughout childhood and into adulthood.
