Bioecological Theory Flashcards
BT: Theory Overview- examines how _____________ interactions shape a person
human-environment interactions
These human-environment interactions shape a person’s ______, _______, and ________ development
physical, social, and cultural
It explains the theory in a way that gives professionals who work with families (like family scientists a __________
solid understanding
Bioecological theory is the most misused theory- T or F
True
BP: allows you to take into account all of the _______ that impact family interaction
influences
BP: these influences can be ______ and ______
internal, external
BP: how does the environment affect _________/_________?
families, individuals
BP: what things influence ________ in families, and how do those ________ work together to affect the family
changes
BP: are the driving force of development that shapes the lives of families and their members
Proximal Processes
BP: The contemporary usage of the theory is the _______
PPCT
PPCT is (person, process, context, and time) a framework for comprehending how people interact with their _____ and _____ over time
environment, develop
Proximal processes is the _____ ______ that shape how someone grows
daily occurances
Proximal processes do not interact with the individual- T or F
False. they do interact with the individual
The PPCT model stresses how important it is to understand how the different parts of the model interact with each other, and _______ a person’s ________
affect, development
Key Figures:
Urie Broffenbrenner, Evelyn Hutchinson
Broffenbrenner theorized that families are _______________
nested in their environment
Broffenbrenner created the ______
PPCT Model
Darwin’s theory of evolution was a major addition to ecological theory? T or F
True
Hutchinson’s work on community advanced ecological theory (black families) T or F
True
Epistemologies: interactions with the environment create knowledge
constructivism
E: focuses of understanding the individual-environment system
Systems thinking
Bioecological theory takes context into account
Contextualism
how people and the environment interact
Interactionism
Assumptions: what is impacted by various interacting systems in life?
human development
a: the environment influences _______
growth
a: the environment is dynamic and people ______ to these ______
adapt, changes
a: people can shape their surrounding ________ as well as their own _______
environment , development
a: development takes ________
time
a: people ______ and ______ to their environment
change, adapt
Key Concepts: stress the importance of the interactions between the individual, the environment, and the context in which the individual lives.
PPCT model
KC: driving force of growth
proximal processes
KC: traits of the individual that have an affect on how the person interacts with their surroundings
person characteristics
KC: the micro,meso,exo,and macro system are the four primary parts of the environment
context
KC: in the PPCT model, is the same as the chrono system
time
KC: the idea that TWO or MORE things WORKING TOGETHER can generate an effect BIGGER than the sum of their separate effects.
Synergy
Synergy is used to ___________
emphasize that all aspects of the PPCT model work together to drive human development
