The Bioecological Model of Human Development
In this chapter, we undertake to present the ecological model of human development that has been introduced in a prior edition of this Handbook. The bioecological model is an evolving theoretical system for the scientific study of human development over time. The model presented in this chapter represents major theoretical innovations from the 1983 chapter in both form and content. The new model is not a paradigm shift, but rather represents a tr…

Environments in developmental perspective: Theoretical and operational models.
Nature-nurture reconceptualized in developmental perspective: A bioecological model.
In response to Anastasi's (1958) long-standing challenge, the authors propose an empirically testable theoretical model that (a) goes beyond and qualifies the established behavioral genetics paradigm by allowing for nonadditive synergistic effects, direct measures of the environment, and mechanisms of organism-environment interaction, called proximal processes, through which genotypes are transformed into phenotypes; (b) hypothesizes that estimat…

Recent Advances in Research on the Ecology of Human Development
Ecology of the family as a context for human development: Research perspectives
This review collates and examines critically a theoretically convergent but widely dispersed body of research on the influence of external environments on the functioning of families as contexts of human development. Investigations falling within this expanding domain include studies of the interaction of genetics and environment in family processes; transitions and linkages between the family and other major settings influencing development, suc…
Toward a critical social history of developmental psychology: A propaedeutic discussion
Contextos de crianza del niño. Problemas y prospectiva
La idea de este artículo es hacer una integración teórica del conocimiento existente sobre los contextos de crianza del niño. A la luz de las investigaciones existentes el autor hace varias propuestas: la distinción entre contexto de desarrollo primario (bajo guía de otras personas) y secundario (sin esta intervención); la importancia de terceras partes en el desarrollo potencial de un escenario; el desarrollo potencial se ve incrementado en virt…
The changing family in a changing world: America first? 1
The rapid and revolutionary changes in the American family that have taken place at an accelerating rate since World War II surely represent an extraordinary phenomenon in the history of modern societies. It is true that similar transformations have been occurring in other industrialized countries, and, in the absence of directly comparable data, it is impossible to be certain about comparative rates of change. But there can be little doubt that …

Die Rolle des Kindes in der Gesellschaft wird als Funktion von Stabilität und Wandel der ökologischen Umwelt betrachtet. Diese umfaßt nicht nur die unmittelbare Umgebung der sich entwickelnden Personen, sondern auch die weiteren Kontexte formeller und informeller Natur, in die jene Umgebung eingebettet ist. Unter methodischen Gesichtspunkten betont der Ansatz die Anwendung genau geplanter natürlicher und künstlicher Experimente, mit denen bereits…

Lewinian Space and Ecological Substance
It is proposed that Lewinian theory — a bundle of paradoxes in which the perceived is viewed as more important than the actual, the unreal more valid than the real, motivation inheres in the environment, and the content of structures remains unspecified — constitutes a set of ideas whose time has just now come. A theory of form but not of substance, it proposed a redefinition of psychology as the study of behavior in the psychological field , a t…
Toward an experimental ecology of human development
A broader approach to research in hu- j man development is proposed that focuses on the pro- gressive accommodation, throughout the life span, between the growing human organism and the changing environments in which it actually lives and grows. The latter include not only the immediate settings containing the developing person but also the larger social contexts, both formal and informal, in which these settings are embedded. In terms of method,…
The Experimental Ecology of Education
Ishall begin by stating three basic requirements that, in my judgment, must be met if we are to make progress in the scientific study of educational systems and processes. 1. Our researches cannot be reistricted to the laboratory; for the most part, they must be carried out in real-life educational settings. As will be indicated below, this does not mean that laboratory experiments cannot serve a useful and, indeed, essential purpose, but they mu…

A Constant Frame of Reference for Sociometric Research
The emphasis of modern educational theory on the socio-emotional aspects of human growth has imposed the necessity of devising techniques for evaluating the degree and character of social development. The problem has been complicated by the fact that social development applies not only to the individual but also to the social organization of which he is a part. Variations occur not only in the social status of a particular person Within the group…

Freedom and Responsibility in Research: Comments
I read with great interest the editorial, "Freedom and Responsibility in Research: The Springdale Case." The problem relative to responsibility of authors to the community is one which always pushes itself into focus when I start writing a report. Personally, I have come to the conclusion that responsibility to the community does not conflict with responsibility to science. As a matter of fact, I have found frequently that attempting to state mat…

Shall we follow the pattern of certain other nations in which day care programs have served further to separate the child from his family and reduce the family's and the community's feeling of responsibility for their children? Or, shall the American model of day care retain and rededicate our commitment to the family as the primary and proper agent for the process of making human beings …
