According to Bronfenbrenner's approach to human development, Macrosystem represents :

  • A.broader influences on an individual
  • B.binds children to parents, student to teachers etc.
  • C.larger cultural influences on an individual
  • D.immediate influences on an individual

Answer: C

In Bronfenbrenner's model the macrosystem represents the larger cultural influences on an individual.

Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory nests the developing child within layers. The microsystem holds the immediate settings and relationships (family, school, peers). The mesosystem links those settings, the exosystem includes settings that affect the child indirectly, such as a parent's workplace, and the macrosystem is the overarching culture: its values, laws, customs and ideology.

'Immediate influences' describes the microsystem, and the bonds between children and parents or students and teachers are microsystem relationships. 'Broader influences' is too vague to single out the cultural layer, which is what the macrosystem specifically means.
