Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tyson's good relationship with his parents is a familial protective factor as it is related to the positive family environment he experiences. It is not an individual protective factor as it is related to his family unit, nor is it a biological protective factor as it is not related to his genetics. It is not a social/external protective factor as it pertains to his family relationships, nor is it a relational protective factor as it is specific to the parent-child relationship.
