Whiting and Whiting's Six Cultures Study showed that a child's behavior and personality is intimately connected to characteristics of the broader ecology, such as the natural and cultural environment. This suggests that a child's development cannot be fully understood without considering the context in which they are growing up. While the child's microsystem (e.g., their immediate family and community) may also play a role, it is ultimately influenced by the broader ecology. The study did not make any specific claims about women's work roles as major food providers.
