He asked about factors in general and from our social point of view in particular. I did not attempt this question but i initially made its outline. And i included Pre-Natal Period as well. There i though about adding mother's nutrition level and emotional state.
Similarly rather than limiting it to first 4 stages of Erikson i thought about adding conflicts and fixations from freud's theory, Role of agents of socialization as explained by J.B Watson and vygotsky from our social point of view.
This could have taken more than 50 minutes so i hoped to the next question.

yes. in my opinion you did it right. It was such a vast topic that one could have written from almost all the theories of developmental psychology but time constrain.. So all the best..

Well i want to add to those who added freud theory. The examiner asked fsctors in pakistani culture but oedipal conflict in freud theory is not corresponding to pakistani culture thus freud theory does not apply to this question but parenting styles are quite fit for this..

Anal stage is relevant too as it also depends on the parents in formation of anal retentive or anal expulsive personality. Erickson first stage of trust v mistrust and meads theory of self
