Which of the following is not part of the Socioecological Model?

• A. Individual, Interpersonal, Organizational, Community, Public Policy
• B. Individual, Family, Friends, Classmates, Neighborhood
• C. Individual, City, County, State, Country
• D. Individual, Family, Community, Business, Public Policy

Answer: (A)

The Socioecological Model rests on five levels of influence: individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and public policy. Among the options, the one that lists city, county, state, and country does not map to these layers at all—these are geographic/political scales rather than levels of social influence. The other options align more closely with SEM concepts by naming or implying the person-centered, relationship, organizational, community, or policy dimensions. So the not-part choice is the one with geographic units, since those do not constitute SEM levels. Noting this, the provided answer (which aligns with the exact SEM levels) is not the correct choice for “not part.”
