Bronfenbrenner’s (1989) Theory of Human Development
Bronfenbrenner’s (1989) theory of human development suggests development is influenced by four levels of influence: (a) the micro-system
(b) the mesosystem
(c) the exosystem
(d) the macrosystem
![Page 11: Your Mom Didn't Go to College?! Understanding First Generation College Students Chris Bryant Shepherd University Natalie Liston Shippensburg University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c745503460f94926e66/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Level’s of Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model Micro-system: comprising the
people and circumstances to which an individual is exposed on a daily or regular basis.
Mesosystem: an integration of different environments such as home and school.
Exosystem: influences outside an individual’s environment that affect development, like neighbors, friends, extended kin, the media, social service agencies, or a parent’s workplace.
Macrosystem: consisting of the laws, customs, attitudes, and values of one’s culture and community.

Systems and Results
