Bioecological Model

The Bioecological Model, developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner, explains how various environmental factors influence human development. It emphasizes the interplay between an individual and their surroundings, including immediate relationships (like family), social settings (such as schools), and broader societal factors (like culture and policies). The model highlights that development is shaped through interactions at different levels, from personal experiences to larger social contexts, illustrating that behavior and growth are not isolated but connected to multiple layers of influence in an individual’s life.
