    Urie Bronfenbrenner was a Russian-born American psychologist known for his ecological systems theory, which views a person's development as being influenced by multiple environmental systems. These systems include the microsystem of immediate family and peers, the mesosystem of connections between microsystems, the exosystem of broader social settings, the macrosystem of culture, and the chronosystem of time. The microsystem, consisting of direct relationships with parents, teachers, and school peers, is considered the most influential level in Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory.

    Introduction

     Urie Bronfenbrenner was a Russian-born American psychologist who is most


    known for his ecological systems theory. He was born in Russia on April 29, 1917
    and died in America on September 25, 2005.  
     Bronfenbrenner completed a double major in psychology and music at Cornell in
    1938 and a PhD in psychology from the University of Michigan in 1942. He
    worked as a clinical psychologist in the U.S. Army and as a professor at the
    university of Michigan and at Cornell. He was co-founder of the Head Start
    program situated in United States that provides education to under privileged
    children.
    The Five Ecological Systems

     Bronfenbrenner believed
    that a person's
    development was affected
    by everything in their
    surrounding environment.
    He divided the person's
    environment into five
    different levels: the
    microsystem, the
    mesosystem,
    the exosystem, the
    macrosystem, and the
    chronosystem.
    The Microsystem
     The microsystem is the first level of Bronfenbrenner's theory and have direct
    contact with the child in their immediate environment, such as parents, siblings,
    teachers and school peers. Relationships in a microsystem are bi-directional. In
    other words, your reactions to the people in your microsystem will affect how
    they treat you in return. This is the most influential level of the ecological systems
    theory. 
     If a child has a strong nurturing relationship with their parents, this is said to have
    a positive effect on the child. Whereas, distant and unaffectionate parents will
    have a negative effect on the child.
