3. exosystem- linkages that may exist between 2 or more settings, one which may not involve the child but indirectly affects them
- other people and places which child may not directly interact but still affects them = exosystem
-e.g parents' workplace, neighborhood, extended family

4. macrosystem- largest and most distant collection of people n places that still has significant influence on child
- involves child's cultural patterns and values- dominant beliefs and ideas, and political and economic systems
