Explain and give an example of proximal and distal influences on the trend for American children to increasingly use technology.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Distal influences are outside the immediate environment of the child. Examples include the increasing role that technology plays at a macrosystem level, such as the influence of technology companies in influencing public policy or the increasing adoption of technology in education on the whole.
2. Proximal influences are in the immediate environment of the individual. In the child's home, proximal influences may include access to various forms of technology, from tablet/computer access in the home to the child having his or her own smartphone. In the school, the child may have access to laptops that are funded by technology companies and the teacher may use free educational software funded by technology companies.
3. In this example, the proximal and distal influences work together to support a child's use of technology.
