From the Paper:

"Bronfenbrenner's ecological model of childhood development might call the exosystem of my grandfather's childhood, defined as the factors that affect the individual but with which the individual does not interact directly (like the influences of world history) was the Great Depression. The Great Depression created a sense of constant although often unspoken economic pressure and worry during my grandfather's childhood. Although his family was close and happy, his parents were always in fear for the family's economic security and survival."
