Each level has an impact on how we develop. Consists of people and objects in an individual"s immediate environment who are closets to them (e. g. parents and siblings) What happens in one microsystem will influence the others. E. g. , bad day at work, you"re grouchy at home (talking about the interconnectedness of your microsystems interacting with each other) (ex. Two micro systems work and school, interacting with eachother. Exosystem social setting that you might not experience first hand or directly, but still influences development. Mother"s work environment (things you don"t have direct contact with, but still impact your life) Subcultures and cultures that the other three systems are embedded in. Broader social and cultural context the family lives in. Not static, but always changing (ex. wars, economic climate ) examples of changes.
