The Bronfenbrenner Primer

This revised and updated second edition of The Bronfenbrenner Primer builds on one of the first-ever introductions to acclaimed child psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Model of Development Framework, written specifically for undergraduate students. The author provides a carefully structured, guided introduction to Bronfenbrenner's concepts, their interpretation, and their potential applications. Bronfenbrenner's scientific analysis of the role the environment plays in human development is essential for understanding how and why development happens, how our environments can promote healthy development, and how to address developmental issues when they arise. Shelton emphasizes building a systematic foundation for using the theory to understand real situations and apply it practically. The book describes the background and context that led Bronfenbrenner to develop his framework, illustrates a wide array of potential applications, and provides activities for students to practice applying the framework to their own experiences. This new edition includes expanded coverage on adolescents and adults, incorporating up-to-date examples relevant to life post-pandemic. It also addresses diverse perspectives and living environments and provides several applications and exercises to help explain Bronfenbrenner's concepts. The Bronfenbrenner Primer is a highly regarded and valuable resource for students beginning their studies in Developmental Psychology, Family Science, Sociology, Health Sciences, Social Work, Education, and for anyone interested in understanding the social world.
