Use the biopsychosocial framework to describe four factors that could be important in the development of parenting skills

What will be an ideal response?


The four types of factors considered in the biopsychosocial model include biological forces (all genetic and health-related factors), psychological forces (all internal perceptual, cognitive, emotional, and personality factors), sociocultural forces (interpersonal, societal, cultural, and ethnic factors), and life-cycle forces (differences in how the same event affects people of different ages).
The accurate answer would include at least one factor from each of these domains and would discuss them in a manner that recognizes the integrative and interactive nature of the biopsychosocial model. An excellent answer might address the idea that different factors may be more or less salient for specific areas of development. For example, the development of parenting skills might give greater weight to psychological and sociocultural forces than to biological forces.
