Question

question 16 0.2 pts which one of the following developmental theorists takes the most multidimensional approach, incorporating relationships among complex interacting causes for change (both internal and external) in biological, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions?
∘ jean piaget
∘ b. f. skinner
∘ erik erikson
∘ urie bronfenbrenner

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each theorist:

• Jean Piaget focused on cognitive development stages, mainly cognitive aspects.
• B.F. Skinner was a behaviorist, emphasizing operant conditioning (behavioral, less on multiple dimensions).
• Erik Erikson focused on psychosocial stages (psychosocial, not as multidimensional across biological, psychological, social, cultural in a complex interacting way).
• Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory considers multiple interacting systems (microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, chronosystem) that include biological, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions, making his approach the most multidimensional with complex interacting causes.

Answer:

D. Urie Bronfenbrenner
