Urie Bronfenbrenner proposes an ecological theory that centers on the relationships between the developing individual and the changing environmental system (Crandell‚ Crandell & Vander Zanden 2009 p. 52). His theory changed the way many social and behavioral scientists approached the study of human beings and their environment (Ceci p.173).
