Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bio-ecological theory of human development emphasizes the importance of reciprocal interaction between individuals and their environment. This is reflected in option D which mentions "human development as a dynamic process of reciprocal interaction in which individuals also play an important role in shaping their environment". Option A describes human behaviour to be an enduring process of adaptation,interpretation,and interaction with observable phenomena which may be related to some aspects of human development but not the entire theory. Option B mentions the integration of genetic factors and environmental forces, but this is not unique to the bio-ecological theory. Option C emphasizes the need to reproduce, survive, adapt, and thrive, which could be related to the bio-ecological theory but it does not fully capture the theory's focus on interaction with the environment.
