The Socio Ecological model is a framework used for understanding the effects of personal and environmental factors that can affect patterns and behaviors in an individual.
According to this model, there are different levels that influence the individual.
Individual: It refers to the individual characteristics that influence change or behaviors. (skills, knowledge, religion, economic status, age)
Interpersonal: Refers to the social networks and social support systems that influence individual behaviours (family, peers, friends). These systems give support and role definition.
Community: Refers to the relationships among institutions with boundaries (bussinesses, associations, transportation).
Organizational: Refers to more established organizations with rules and regulations that define how services should be provided.
Policy: It refers to local, national or international laws that affect the individual.
In this example we are asked which level of influence includes family, friends, and peers that provide social identity, support, and role definition in an ecological framework. The correct answer, from the previous paragraphs would be d. interpersonal since it refers to family and peers that give support.
