Using Bronfenbrenner's model, give examples of the first three system levels
What will be an ideal response?
An example of the microsystem would be the child's biological, cognitive, and social development in its own right. An example of the mesosystem would be peers' and peer relationships' impact on child development. An example of the exosystem would be the impact of television and Internet exposure in the culture on child development. These levels were the primarly emphasis of Chapter 15, although some elements of this chapter would speak to the remaining two levels of Bronfenbrenner's work: macrosystem and chronosystem.
