ecological systems theory |
deals with interactions between the individual and their multiple layered environmental context
recognizes it's combined with environment and genetics
historical and life events should be considered |
|
|
ecological systems model |
individual; Microsystems; mesosystem; exosystem; macrosystem |
|
|
individual |
includes specific characteristics of the person, including personality, intelligence, traits, identification markers (race, ethnicity, gender, occupation) |
|
|
Microsystem |
includes interactions in the immediate setting of the developing person
interactions included are between individuals with their peers, parents, siblings, teachers, etc. as well as their distinctive individual characteristics |
|
|
mesosystem |
includes interactions and processes that occur between 2 or more settings that contain the developing person
interactions include between parents and school, parents and peers, Peers and community, employer and community, etc |
|
|
exosystem |
includes interactions between a setting that contains the individual and a setting that does not
interactions between siblings and their school, teachers and their separate relationships with the school |
|
|
macrosystem |
encompasses all interactions that occur on lower levels
including cultural/societal changes or structures and a variety of larger groups/organizations an individual can be part of at any time |
|
|
vulnerability |
unique to each individual; not easily observable; may need to be brought out by situations and events |
|
|
risk factors |
descriptive factors possessed by or describe the individuals with disorders/dysfunction
examples: poverty; childhood abuse; learning disorders |
|
|
masked vulnerability |
symptoms not evident or overlooked
not acknowledged in research
behaviors don't warrant attention and they are assumed to be healthy |
|
|
coping strategies |
avoidance; withdrawal; support seeking; distraction; rumination; resignation/helplessness |
|
|
locus of control |
feeling like one has control over what she can do or that external factors influence her ability to perform/behave |
|
|
PVEST |
focuses on identity development
cyclical consisting of 5 bi-directional processes: net-risk/vulnerability; netstress/engagement; reactive coping strategies; identity formation/emergent identities; life-span outcomes |
|
|
net-risk/vulnerability |
hand that you're dealt and your tools
considers the risk and protective factors an individual has that can either protect or predispose that individual to adverse outcomes
include genetic make up, biological developmental processes, environmental factors and personality characteristics |
|
|
net-stress/engagement |
internal locus of control - does she have the tools to deal with challenge or not?
when we encounter stress our coping strategies kick in
primary coping responses are immediate |
|
|
reactive coping strategies |
methods by which our immediate responses are carried out
can be adaptive or maladaptive
secondary coping processes are reinforced by the perceived success and satisfaction of those primary and reactive coping processes |
|
|
reactive coping strategies |
methods by which our immediate responses are carried out
can be adaptive or maladaptive
secondary coping processes are reinforced by the perceived success and satisfaction of those primary and reactive coping processes |
|
|
identify formation/ emergent identities |
as they become pleased with their coping responses they become more stable
can be positive or negative |
|
|
lifespan outcomes |
employed coping strategies and the resulting identities can be useful or useless throughout different contexts, situations, and stages of life
consequences for same behavior may change with context |
