Ecological Systems Theory Urie Bronfenbrenner

The document summarizes Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, which proposes that human development is influenced by different environmental systems, including the microsystem (immediate environments like family and school), mesosystem (connections between microsystems), exosystem (external environments that indirectly affect development), and macrosystem (overarching cultural contexts). It also discusses how self-concept and identity are shaped through social learning processes across these environmental systems over time.

ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS THEORY

Urie Bronfenbrenner

 Ecological systems model of socialization


 Used in many texts: ie.
 Mass media and socialization Livolsi, Marino.

The four systems 1:

 Microsystem: Immediate environments (family, school, peer group,


neighborhood, and childcare environments)
 Mesosystem: A system comprised of connections between immediate
environments (i.e., a child’s home and school)

The four systems 2:

 Exosystem: External environmental settings which only indirectly affect


development (such as parent's workplace)
 Macrosystem: The larger cultural context (Eastern vs. Western culture, national
economy, political culture, subculture)

MICROSYSTEM-

 SIGNIFICANT OTHERS
 FAMILY DYSFUNCTIONAL or FUNCTIONAL
 EMOTIONAL,
 CARING,
 LANGUAGE RICH.

EXOSYSTEM

 OUTSIDE THE INDIVIDUAL


 CHILD NOT ACTIVE PARTICIPANT
EXOSYSTEM

FACTORS:

 NEIGHBOURHOOD
 POVERTY
 PARENTAL EMPLOYMENT

MESOSYSTEM

 INTERMEDIATE SOCIALIZER
 TEACHERS, PRINCIPALS
 FAMILY AND SCHOOL
 FAMILY AND PEER GROUP

Chronosystem

-temporal changes

Chronosystem

 Ecological systems or individuals producing new conditions that affect


development.

Self-Identity:

 While in earlier, traditional societies we would be provided with that narrative and
social role. (clear cut)
 In the post-traditional society we are usually forced to create one ourselves.
(ambiguous)

Late modernity and Self

 As Giddens (Modernity and Self-Identity: 70) puts it: "What to do? How to act?
Who to be?
 These are focal questions for everyone living in circumstances of late modernity
– Questions we must ask: either discursively or through day-to-day social
behaviour."
SELF CONCEPT

 Self-concept or self identity is the mental and conceptual understanding and


persistent regard that sentient beings hold for their own existence.
 In other words, it is the sum total of a being's knowledge and understanding of
his or her self

Self-concept

 The self-concept is different from self-consciousness, which is an awareness or


preoccupation with one's self.
 Components of the self-concept include physical, psychological, and social
attributes, which can be influenced by the individual's attitudes, habits, beliefs
and ideas.
 These components and attributes can not be condensed to the general concepts
of self-image and the self-esteem.

Self-concept is learned.

1) It is learned,
2) It is organized,
3) It is dynamic.

Each of these qualities, with corollaries, follow.
