Summarizing the multifactorial model, many aspects included therein can possibly determine different health outcomes of people in relation to the disease. The model shows how biological, environmental, behavioral, personality and socio-cultural factors are fundamental in relation to some of the main causes of stress-related diseases. More importantly, (Hoover, 2000) notes that genetic and lifestyle factors are among the few simple answers to why some people manage to stay healthy, while others get sick. Most people believe that biological factors play a huge role in the members of a family. get sick. We often think that our genetic makeup will ultimately lead our health along the same paths as previous members of our families who suffered from disease. Although this concept may seem rather common, genetic factors show the probability that this possibility exists, but not the certainty. In some cases of cardiovascular problems or cancer, genes create predispositions or propensities for a specific type of action; however, stating this without a doubt would be a mistake. The different ways we behave (our behaviors) and environmental influences can also lead to stress-related illnesses. The multifactorial model breaks down different actions into a group of factors and, if not controlled using a stress reduction system, can lead to long-term illnesses. The way we express ourselves through our personality can ultimately lead to depression or anxiety, if not both; as well as many other factors within the model as they relate to personality. All this can lead to serious, even fatal, diseases, which we will talk about later in this component. There are two main causes... middle of the paper... predisposing to the disease. The role that psychology has played and continues to play is that of psychological awareness that only the individual can control the outcome, once the process has taken place. The individual can then control how to continue the journey to recovery. Works Cited American Cancer Society (n.d.) Adrenal Cortical Cancer.
