N1 - History, Theory, and Culture in Adolescence First published: Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model is one of the most useful and complete models of adolescent development available to researchers today. In this entry, proximal factors of adolescent development, such as family, school, and peer influences, as well as more distal factors, such as culture and public policy, are examined.

N2 - Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model is one of the most useful and complete models of adolescent development available to researchers today. In this entry, proximal factors of adolescent development, such as family, school, and peer influences, as well as more distal factors, such as culture and public policy, are examined. Specific emphasis is placed on the benefits of incorporating interactive and synergetic effects of multiple environments (i.e., mesosystems) in developmental research, and on criticism of current uses of ecological models. Future directions and implications for ecological model of adolescent development are also discussed.
