Urie Bronfenbrenner

Urie Bronfenbrenner was a psychologist best known for developing the Ecological Systems Theory, which emphasizes the impact of various environmental systems on human development. He proposed that a person's growth is influenced by multiple layers, including immediate settings like family and school (microsystem), broader social contexts (exosystem), and cultural values (macrosystem). His work highlighted how these interconnected systems shape individuals and how changes in one area can affect others. This holistic perspective has been influential in fields such as education, psychology, and social work, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding human behavior and development.
