    The family is the child's early microsystem for learning how to live. The caring relations between child and parents (or other caregivers) can help to influence a healthy personality. [15] For example, the attachment behaviors of parents offer children their first trust-building experience. [16]

    The microsystem should be delineated to include distinct forms in which an individual lives: physical microsystem and virtual microsystem. The role of the macrosystem, specifically the cultural influence of digital technology, should be emphasized in understanding human development.

  4. Bacterial motility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_motility

    However, the type of swimming movement (propelled by rotation of flagella outside the cell body) varies significantly with the species and number/distribution of flagella on the cell body. For example, the marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus, with its single polar flagellum, swims in a cyclic, three-step (forward, reverse, and flick) pattern ...

    Ecological systems theory is a broad term used to capture the theoretical contributions of developmental psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner. [1] Bronfenbrenner developed the foundations of the theory throughout his career, [2] published a major statement of the theory in American Psychologist, [3] articulated it in a series of propositions and hypotheses in his most cited book, The Ecology of ...

    The microsystem is the immediate environment surrounding and influencing the individual (example: school or the home setting). The mesosystem is the combination of two microsystems and how they influence each other (example: sibling relationships at home vs. peer relationships at school).

    A microsystem is a self-contained subsystem located within a larger system. It generally constitutes the smallest unit of analysis in systems theory.

  8. Collective motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_motion

    Collective motion is defined as the spontaneous emergence of ordered movement in a system consisting of many self-propelled agents.It can be observed in everyday life, for example in flocks of birds, schools of fish, herds of animals and also in crowds and car traffic.

  9. Twitching motility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitching_motility

    Twitching motility is a form of crawling bacterial motility used to move over surfaces. Twitching is mediated by the activity of hair-like filaments called type IV pili which extend from the cell's exterior, bind to surrounding solid substrates, and retract, pulling the cell forwards in a manner similar to the action of a grappling hook.
