Correct: childhood trauma, genetic predisposition, and low self-control.
Explanation: the diathesis-stress model says a preexisting vulnerability (diathesis) — e.g., genetic risk, early trauma, stable personality traits such as low self-control — interacts with stressors to produce a disorder. A culture that merely disapproves of “strange” behaviors affects labeling/stigma and expression, not a biological or psychological vulnerability that predisposes someone to develop the disorder.
