  2. The MicrosystemThe microsystem is the innermost layer and contains the relationships and interactions a child has with his/her immediate environment (Berk, 2000). At this level, bi-directional influences are at their strongest and have the greatest impact on the child (Paquette & Ryan, 2000). Examples of relationships experienced within Rowan’s Microsystem include: In 2002, 20% of young people had attended church or participated in other reliIgious activities (16% of males and 23% of females) (A.B.S, 2008) Rowan & Local High School Rowan & Local Church Rowan’s Microsystem Rowan & Butcher Shop Rowan & Friends Rowan & Father Rowan & Brother Rowan & Local Soccer team

  3. The MesosystemThe mesosystem encompasses the connection between the relationships experienced within a child’s immediate environment (Berk, 2000). Examples of shared relationships within Rowan’s Mesosystem include: In 2005 young men participated in sport and physical recreation at a higher rate than young women (78% compared with 68%) (A.B.S, 2008) . Rowans’sMesosystem Mother & Father Brother, Sister & Father Brother, Sister & Mother Father & local High School Father & local Soccer team

  4. The ExosystemThe Exosystem involves external social systems which a child does not function directly. The structures in this layer influence a child’s development by interacting with some structure in his/her Microsystem or Mesosystem (Berk, 2000) Examples of social systems operating within in Rowan’s Exosystem include: In 2006, 22% of women were regular volunteers compared with 19% of men (A.B.S, 2008) Rowan’s Exosystem Australian Government Local Neighbourhood Brother & Father’s Workplace Sister’s University Mother’s volunteer work at the Local Hospital Extended Family

  5. The MacrosystemThe macrosystem is the outermost layer and involves the larger cultural context of a child’s environment. While not being a particular framework, this layer is comprised of cultural values, customs, and laws which act as blueprints for all the other systems (Paquette & Ryan, 2000). Examples of social structures outlined within Rowan’s Macrosystem include: Rowan’s Macrosystem Australian Culture Australian Political Culture In 2001, the two most common ancestries of the Australian population were Australian (reported by 6.7 million people) and English (reported by 6.4 million) (A.B.S, 2008). Australian Economy Social Expectations Global Political Culture Global Economy Catholic Church
