Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1979. The Ecology of Human Development: Experiments by Nature and Design.Chair, 1970 White House Conference on Children.The American Psychological Association renamed its 'Lifetime Contribution to Developmental Psychology in the Service of Science and Society' as 'The Bronfenbrenner Award.'.The James McKeen Catell Award from the American Psychological Society.Bronfenbrenner's teaching at Cornell University produced a large number of developmental researchers who are now, as Cornell University claims, 'leaders in the field.' Awards His research and ideas were also influential in the formation and direction of Head Start (see above). Kohn, a sociologist from Johns Hopkins University, Bronfenbrenner was critical in making social scientists realize that, '.interpersonal relationships, even the smallest level of the parent-child relationship, did not exist in a social vacuum but were embedded in the larger social structures of community, society, economics and politics.' His theory also helped to push developmental research into conducting observations and experiments to discern the impact of certain environmental variables on human development. Legacy and influence Īccording to Melvin L. Bronfenbrenner's input may have helped Head Start develop some of its environmental intervention methods, such as family support services, home visits, and education for parenthood. The panel's recommendations led to the formation of the Head Start in 1965. Bronfenbrenner convinced the panel to focus efforts on involving a child's family and community in the intervention effort, so as to expand the program to also focus on the creation of a better environment for development. He worked with 12 other professionals from various fields such as mental and physical health, education, social work, and developmental psychology. Furthermore, he was invited to a federal panel that was tasked with developing a method to counteract the effects of child poverty and to get them on an equal educational footing with wealthier students. Because of his testimony, he was invited to the White House to discuss the issue with Claudia Alta 'Lady Bird' Johnson, with whom he discussed child-care programs of other countries. This perspective was contrary to the predominant view at the time that child development was purely biological, with no influence of experience or environment on its course. In 1964 Bronfenbrenner testified before a congressional hearing about an antipoverty bill, stating that measures should be directed towards children in order to reduce the effects of poverty on developing persons.
