I think that's the most reasonable conclusion... but don't forget internal forces like genetics and psychological states! The stress-diathesis model: two different people will respond to the same environment different ways depending on their past history with the same kind of stimuli, their genetic dispositions, and other confounding biological factors.
I think people tend to forget about developmental factors too.
