• Development is the result of the relationships between people and their environments– Cannot evaluate a child’s development only in the
immediate environment– Must also examine the interactions among the larger
environments that a child develops in• Key Question: How does the world around the
child help or hinder development?• Four layers of relationships that influence a
child’s development– Micro system: Relationships with direct contact to the
child– Mesosystem: Connection between relationships of
child’s micro system– Exosystem: Structures in which child the child does
not have direct contact– Macro system: Cultural context
• Most of the child’s behavior is learned in the micro system.
• The micro system consists of bi-directional influences– Parents actively shape the development of the
child– Children actively shape their environment
• Personal attributes influence responses from other people
• Children actively select and avoid specific environments Bi-directional relationships are the foundation for
a child’s cognitive and emotional growth
Impacts a child’s development by influencing structures in the micro system
Exosystem: Institutions of society that indirectly affect a child’s developmentExamples
Parent’s workplace Funding for education
• Macro system: Cultural context– Provides the values, beliefs, customs, and
laws of the culture in which a child grows up• Influences how parents, teachers, and
others raise a child• May be conscious or unconscious
– Influences the societal values, legislation, and financial resources provided by a society to help families function
– Influences the interactions of all other layers
• Properties of the four layers of relationships– Each layer of the environment is complex – Each layer has an effect on a child’s
development– Conflict within any layer ripples
throughout other layers• As a child develops, interaction
within environments becomes more complex– Complexity is the result of the
maturation of a child’s physical and cognitive structures
