Answer 1

Human being is an entity that reflects a perfect blend of the psychological, biological, social, and cultural factors. The extent of the impact of these factors varies from one person to another.

But eventually what a human beings is and emerges to be has its roots in these factors that affect the mental process and behaviour.

To further illustrate this, the minute aspects belonging to the above mentioned factors like personality, perception, attention, attitudes, lifestyles, motivation, drives, basic instincts, cognitive dissonance, evaluation of the alternatives in the context of decision making, refence group impact, opinion leadership, genetic inheritenceetc tend to be crucial.

Restrictions on human behaviour through legal aspects, impact of the surroundings in terms of famileis, neighbours, community, schools, colleges, cultures, subcultures, race, religious practices, nationalities, traditions/ customs etc also tend to be crucial.

Thus, because of the probable implication of these facets throughout the life transition of the human beings, these factors certainly influence mental processes and behavior.
