Chronosystems

Chronosystems refer to the patterns of events and changes over time that influence individuals and their development. In this context, it encompasses historical, social, and personal experiences that can shape a person's life course. For example, significant life events, such as a family move or a global event like a pandemic, create 'timeframes' that affect how people grow and adapt. Understanding chronosystems helps to appreciate how time and timing—when events occur—impact behavior, relationships, and overall development throughout a person's life.
