Family, culture, environment are examples of which component?

The effect of outside relationships, norms, and settings on how a person functions is being tested. Family, culture, and environment represent social context—the external factors that shape health and participation through interactions with others and with the community. These elements can either support or hinder activity, engagement, and daily life, depending on the support they provide, cultural expectations, and the resources or barriers present in the person’s surroundings. Biological refers to body systems and physiology, not external context. Psychological concerns mental processes, emotions, and coping. Personal factors are internal attributes of the individual, like age, education, or coping style.
