This is a true statement. The diathesis-stress model states that there are certain predisposing factors that make it more likely that a person will react in a certain way when a stressor is introduced. The predisposition makes the person more vulnerable to these stresses, and protective factors will take effect as a way for the person to try to negate these stressors.
