Lesson 3 & 4 Flashcards
a set of elements standing in interrelation among themselves with the environment
System
are arranged hierarchically
System
Every system is a ________ for systems contained _________ and a _________ for a system ____________.
super system; within it; subsystem; containing it
True or false: All systems are more or less similar.
True
This theory states that development is a lifelong process that reflects the individual’s understanding of the environment and his or her relationship to it.
Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory
In Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, what is the most inner circle?
Individual (age, sex, health, etc.)
In Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, these are the:
Media influences
Computers
Internet
Portable devices
Social media
TV Phone
Techno-subsystem
In Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, these are the direct interacton in activities, roles and relations with others and objects
Microsystem ~ immediate environment (example: family, school, friends, workplace, neighborhood, religious community)
In Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological System Theory, these are the Connections between systems and microsystems
Mesosystem (Example: the relationship between the father and the school teachers.)
In Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, these are the systems that influence the individual indirectly through micro-system
Exosystem ~ indirect environment (example: government laws, mass media, industry, parent’s workplace, neighborhood resources, media influence on parents)
In Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, these are the Social ideologies and values of cultures and subcultures
Macrosystem (ex. norms and values of the culture; country’s legal system, economic conditions, or dominant cultural values (e.g., individualism vs. collectivism) )
In Bronfenbrenner’s ecological system’s Theory, these are the time and historic influences
Chronosystem
What are the layers of Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Model of Human Development
ITMMEMC
Individual
Techno Subsystem
Microsystem
Mesosystem
Exosystem
Macrosystem
Chronosystem
Explain the human ecological framework
is a model that views individuals and families as interacting systems within their environments. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of humans with their (1) natural, (2) human-built, and (3) socio-cultural environments.
Introduced by Dr. Murray Bowen
Family Systems Theory
Suggests that individuals cannot be understood in isolation from one another but rather as part of their family, as the family is an emotional unit
Family Systems Theory
Each member has a role to play and rules to respect.
Family Systems Theory
Members of the system are expected to respond in a certain way according to their role(s), which is determined by relationship agreements.
Family Sytems Theory
Within the boundaries of the system, this develop as certain family member’s behavior is caused by other family members behavior in predictable ways
Pattern
Maintaining the same pattern of behavior(s) within a system may lead to balance in the family system, but can also lead to ____________
dysfunction
The change in family roles may maintain stability in the relationship, but it may also push the family toward a different equilibrium
Family Systems Theory (True)
A component of family systems theory that states that the the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Non-summativity
A component of FST that states that the same happens in human interactions; part of a continuous, reciprocal loop, rather than a linear cause-and-effect sequence. It suggests that each family member’s behavior both influences and is influenced by the behaviors of others in a dynamic, ongoing cycle.
Circular Causality
A component of FST that states that families may react similarly to the same experience or achieve outcomes by very different processes (outcomes are not rigidly determined by a single factor; multiple pathways to reach the same outcome within a family system.)
Equifinality
