In Bronfenbrenner's ecological-systems model, a hospital in the community is an example of which system?

a. the ecosystem

b. the micro-system

c. the health-care system

d. the exo-system

The exo-system

Explanation:

The exo-system is the third layer of the ecological model given by Bronfenbrenner. It also contains the elements of the micro-system that does affect the individual indirectly. We can take an example, a couple who lost their job due to some reason, it will affect their children indirectly rather than directly as it develops the strain and stress in the life of children. It also increased parental stress and strain.

Thus here in the above context, the hospital in the community is an example of an exo-system in the ecological model.
