Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, the macrosystem is the broadest environmental context, consisting of cultural values, laws, customs, and society as a whole. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Microsystems can influence other microsystems, and factors beyond one's immediate environment also impact development in the exosystem and macrosystem. Individuals do not experience exosystems directly, but rather indirectly through their interactions with others in their microsystem.
