Ecological systems theory, developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner, discusses four types of nested environmental systems that influence each other. Which of those systems is composed of connections between immediate environments?
  1. Microsystem
  2. Macrosystem
  3. Mesosystem
  4. Chronosystem
Explanation
Answer: C - The mesosystem comprises connections between immediate environments, such as work or school. Those immediate environments are known as microsystems. Macrosystems refer to larger cultural context; the fourth original system is the exosystem, which is made of external environments that have an indirect impact. Chronosystem was later added to the theory and is the patterning of events in one’s environment over the course of life.
