Key Insights
The bioecological model of human development, developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner and Pamela A. Morris, is a theoretical system for studying human development across time. The model defines development as the biopsychological changes in individuals and groups over their lifespan and historical time. It emphasizes the role of progressively complex reciprocal interactions, known as proximal processes, between an active individual and their environment. These processes are influenced by person characteristics, the immediate and broader context, and the time periods in which they occur. The model has evolved to include the importance of experiments in understanding development and has been applied to various research designs to explore different developmental outcomes.
