Features: In past research on child development, attention has primarily focused on microsystems such as family, school, and peer groups, while the interactions between microsystems and external systems to which children do not directly participate are often overlooked. This book adopts an ecological perspective, incorporating children's social development into a broader macro environment for research and discussion. Chapter 1 outlines the material living environment that influences children's social development and relevant theories regarding the impact of social environments on children's social development. Chapter 2 elaborates on the cultural environment of modern children. Starting from Chapter 3, the book emphasizes the influence of mass media, particularly television, the internet, and advertising, on children's social development. The last two chapters discuss the time environment of modern children and the remediation of social pathology and developmental disorders in children's social development.
