Uses and Misuses of Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Theory of Human Development

Abstract: This paper evaluates the application of Bronfenbrenner's bioecological theory as it is represented in empirical work on families and their relationships. We describe the “mature” form of bioecological theory of the mid‐1990s and beyond, with its focus on proximal processes at the center of the Process‐Person‐Context‐Time model. We then examine 25 papers published since 2001, all explicitly described as being based on Bronfenbrenner's theory, and show that all but 4 rely on outmoded versions of the theory, resu… Show more

“…Tudge, Mokrova, Hatfield, and Karnik (2009) claim that Bronfenbrenner's bioecological framework is much abused by researchers, who claim to be using it whilst doing little more than provide a broadly holistic view of the child or family. Later presentations of the theory make clear that a bioecological approach requires consideration of process, person, context and time (Bronfenbrenner and Morris 1998).…”

“…Le microsystème comprend les milieux dans lesquels la personne est directement inscrite par exemple sa famille, son travail ou un organisme communautaire (Drapeau, 2008;Tudge, Mokrova, Hatfield & Karnik, 2009). Chacun des participants est impliqué dans différentes microsystèmes.…”

“…Cependant, les composantes biologiques et génétiques sont souvent négligées dans les études qui se réfèrent au modèle de Bronfenbrenner (Tudge, Mokrova, Hatfield et Karnik, 2009). Ces derniers auteurs ont procédé à une analyse détaillée de 25 recherches publiées depuis 2001 et révèlent que seulement 4 d'entre elles respectent le modèle proposé par Bronfenbrenner.…”
