List and briefly describe Urie Bronfenbrenner's five environmental systems.
What will be an ideal response?
Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory identifies five environmental systems: microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem.
The microsystem is the setting in which an individual lives. The mesosystem involves relations between microsystems or connections between contexts. The exosystem consists of links between a social setting in which the individual does not have an active role and the individual's immediate context. The macrosystem involves the culture in which individuals live. The chronosystem consists of the patterning of environmental events and transitions over the life course, as well as sociohistorical circumstances.
