Explanation / Answer

A chronic health condition can never be associated with only one aspect of behaviour. There are many aspects of behaviour which can cause chronic health issues. To study the causes of chronic health condition we need to deal with 2 main influencing factors which impact the health.

Nature (Genetic and Heredity)

Nurture (Environment)

Thus certain aspects of environment like social incongruity, person - environmental misfit or life effects impact those with genetic predisposition to illness more than the others.

As per the table in the above question:

Social incongruity can be manipulated as an independent variable to see its impact on mental health.
