Many different psychologists have studied human behavior and why it is that we react a certain way in different circumstances‚ and ultimately why we behave in the way that we do. 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”
