Answer: Worked solution
Sleep loss is a biological influence that may increase physiological arousal or reduce regulation (1). Catastrophic interpretation of assessment is a psychological influence that may intensify perceived threat (1). Family expectations are a sociocultural influence that may shape pressure and coping norms (1). For example, family pressure may increase worry, which then disrupts sleep and further raises arousal; this states a plausible interaction rather than treating the levels as independent certainties (1).
