Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Super and Harkness's notion of a developmental niche is a framework to understand the concept of enculturation, which refers to the process by which individuals learn and acquire the values, beliefs, and practices of their culture or social group. The developmental niche comprises the physical and social settings in which children are raised, cultural customs and practices, and psychological characteristics of caregivers, which shape the child's developmental outcomes. Thus, the developmental niche perspective highlights the importance of culture in shaping developmental outcomes and individual differences. The other answer choices (behavioral inhibition, attribution, and biological predisposition) do not directly relate to the developmental niche concept.
