The impacts of Mager’s social ecological model


According to Urie
Bronfenbrenner was one of the
most well-known psychologists
alive into his eighties, he was
still actively engaged in an
extremely long and productive
career. Bronfenbrenner
ecological psychology. Very
briefly, he suggests that:
• interactions with others and
the environment are key to
development.
There are impacts on Mager
social interaction with her group
such visiting invitation of
birthday parties is limit to her
because of her culture and
attitudes.
Chronosystem


Patterning of environment events and transitions
over the life course. For example, Mager’s culture
the mother and father are important in child
development. If the father is missing at home, or
separated with mum this can have impact on
Mager’s development.
The separation of the parents led Mager into lack of
daily budgets and emotional needs. This is
exacerbated because of her culture, the role of the
father is important. Therefore, the ongoing conflict
between Mager’s culture and the mainstream is also
a change from what used to be.
