Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory emphasizes the interactions among the contexts in which children live and develop, including the microsystem (immediate environment), mesosystem (interactions among microsystems), exosystem (external social settings), macrosystem (cultural values and laws), and chronosystem (historical time period). It considers multiple levels of influence on development beyond just biological needs or environmental stimuli.
