The mesosystem refers to the interactions and connections between different settings within a child's microsystem, such as the relationships between the child's family and school or between their peers and parents. The mesosystem thus reflects how the different microsystem settings can mutually influence and impact one another, shaping the child's experiences and development. The endosystem and exosystem, in contrast, refer to more distant or indirect influences on the child's development (such as the parent's workplace or cultural norms), while the chronosystem refers to changes and historical shifts in the child's environment over time.
