  • The diathesis model explains that those who are already genetically predisposed towards a particular disorder, are more likely to show abnormal behaviour if exposed to environmental stress. 
  • The disorder is a result of both biological factors (nature) and life experiences (nurture). 
  • Stressful environmental experiences could be childhood abuse, family conflict, divorce, or death. 
  • The model states that the stronger the diathesis, the lesser is the less stress required to trigger abnormal behaviour. 
  • Hence, a similar situation leads to different reactions by different people.
