Urie Bronfenbrenner was a Russian-born American psychologist known for his ecological systems theory of child development. The theory proposes that a child's development is influenced by different environmental systems, including the microsystem of immediate family and community, the mesosystem of connections between microsystems, the exosystem of external social settings, the macrosystem of cultural values and beliefs, and the chronosystem of environmental events and sociohistorical circumstances that influence development over time.
