awkward in the presence of peers and may resort to withdrawal from a group of
classmates.

still affects them.
Decisions that have bearing on the person, but in which they have no
participation in the decision-making process.
Example: a child would being affected by a parent receiving a promotion at work
or losing their job.
Macrosystem

The cultural contexts involve the socioeconomic status of the person and/or his
family, his ethnicity, race and living in a still developing or a third world country.
For example, being born to a poor family makes a person work harder every day.
