The Diathesis-Stress Model

In this video I cover the basics of the Diathesis-Stress Model, a specific viewpoint created in psychology by Holmes & Rahe which examines vulnerabilities for disease and mental disorders under the perspective of genetic and environmental factors. It is an interesting way of also thinking about individual differences and how that applies to you. Hope to see your comments!

@janome If genetics are a factor in psychological disorders, which I'm certain they are, then I don't understand how they would not influence behavior. Care to enlighten us, professor?
