Question

Dr. Adams, who ascribes to the bioecological approach to human development, is studying the relationship between the quality of parent-child interactions in the home and the success of children in school. Dr. Adams is studying development at the _____ level of environmental influence.

Answer 1

Mesosystem

Explanation:

Dr Adams is observing how interactions between parents and teachers develop, therefore this sphere is named "MEsosystem" for it is immediately after the microsystem where children have direct interactions at home.

This means that relationships in this sphere will have a positive or negative impact on development: they involve the links for home and school, between peers and family, and between family and community-

The mesosystem forms a basic chain in Bronfenbrenner’s theory of development, where further systems are at stake.
