Steven is a 12-year-old boy who is being raised in a low-income, single-parent household. His mother works long hours to try and support him and his 10-year-old sister
When Steven's mother becomes stressed, she tends to hit him and throw objects at him. This type of influence is known as what?
A) Macrosystem
B) Microsystem
C) Exosystem
D) Ontogenic
Ans: B
Feedback:
The microsystem represents the family environment, including such factors as family dynamics, parenting style, and socioeconomic status. Families should foster a protective atmosphere that serves as the first center of learning for infants and toddlers to build secure attachments that stay with them for the rest of their lives. Conversely, being raised in a low-income family with scant social support actually can become a risk factor because of time constraints that may prevent close supervision of children.
