  5. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological map: system descriptions • MICROSYSTEM: an immediate setting containing that person where interactions occur between the developing person and the environment. Examples: - Family - Friends - School - Work

  6. MESOSYSTEM: A system of Microsystems through which different settings are linked. Examples: - Parents: Friends School Work - Work: School Family Friends - Friends: School Work Family

  7. EXOSYSTEM: More distal from the developing person. Here the individual does not directly participate in interactions, although decisions made at this level greatly affect a person. Examples: - Parent’s workplaces: Mums unemployment - Neighbourhood: due to their low SES, they live in a poor area - Extended Family: Fathers new family

  8. MACROSYSTEM: a broad societal blueprint containing the core structures that compose a particular culture. Examples: - Government policies: child allowances and Centrelink payments - Cultural values: society looks down on single unemployed families - Economy: recession means financial difficulties
