Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mesosystem refers to the interconnections among microsystems or immediate environments (e.g., the connection between a child's home and school), while the exosystem involves larger social systems that do not contain the individual but still affect them indirectly (e.g., a parent's workplace policies affecting a child's life).
