Brofenbrenner Model

What is the Microsystem in the Brofenbrenner model?

• Distant environment where an individual lives

• Theoretical framework for social development

• Immediate environment where an individual lives

• Immediate environment where a group lives

How does the Mesosystem relate to the Microsystem in the Brofenbrenner model?

• The Mesosystem in the Brofenbrenner model is completely separate from the Microsystem

• The Mesosystem in the Brofenbrenner model relates to the Microsystem by showing the connections and interactions between different microsystems.

• The Mesosystem in the Brofenbrenner model is only focused on individual interactions within the Microsystem

• The Mesosystem in the Brofenbrenner model is a smaller version of the Microsystem

Give an example of an Exosystem in the Brofenbrenner model.

• Child's school

• Local grocery store

• Neighbor's workplace

• Parent's workplace

What does the Macrosystem represent in the Brofenbrenner model?

• The Macrosystem represents the economic status of an individual.

• The Macrosystem represents the genetic makeup of an individual.

• The Macrosystem represents the larger cultural context.

• The Macrosystem represents the individual's immediate surroundings.

Explain the concept of Chronosystem in the Brofenbrenner model.

• The Chronosystem in the Brofenbrenner model represents the dimension of time and how historical events and life changes impact an individual's development.

• The Chronosystem in the Brofenbrenner model is related to genetic factors influencing development

• Chronosystem refers to the immediate environment of an individual in the Brofenbrenner model

• The Chronosystem in the Brofenbrenner model focuses on the impact of technology on development

How do interactions within the Microsystem impact a person's development?

• Interactions within the Microsystem impact a person's development by predicting the weather

• Interactions within the Microsystem impact a person's development by determining their favorite food

• Interactions within the Microsystem impact a person's development by changing their eye color

• Interactions within the Microsystem impact a person's development by shaping their beliefs, behaviors, and social skills.

Discuss the importance of connections between different systems in the Mesosystem.

• Connections between systems in the Mesosystem lead to isolation

• Connections between systems in the Mesosystem hinder individual development

• The importance of connections between different systems in the Mesosystem lies in facilitating communication, collaboration, and mutual reinforcement among the various microsystems, thereby enhancing the overall well-being and development of the individual.

• Connections between systems in the Mesosystem are irrelevant

Provide an example of an influence from the Exosystem affecting an individual.

• Political events influencing personal relationships

• Workplace policies impacting family life

• Educational system impacting health choices

• Weather conditions affecting social interactions

How can cultural values and norms be part of the Macrosystem?

• By promoting global economic development

• By influencing the overarching societal beliefs, customs, and practices that shape the environment in which individuals develop.

• By enforcing strict laws and regulations

• By directly impacting individual behaviors and choices

Give an example of a change in the Chronosystem that can impact development.

• New pet adoption

• Change in school curriculum

• Family moving to a new city

• Family moving to a new country
