A situational factor would be things outside ones immediate control, like the environment, the actions of a person they don't know, or it could even be like the equipment one uses. I would use the environment one as an example of a situational. An example would be an earthquake hitting while you are home alone and your house collapses. You had no control of the power or damage the earthquake would do. Culture from people who have experience earthquakes would be sadness and fear. Fear of what they do next and sadness of the damage the earthquake done.
Depositional factor has to do with a personal (internal) impact like an action or event that changed you or affected you. An example would be domestic violence. A kid could grow in a home where his mother gets beaten every now and then and he can't do anything about. Watching that and growing up could affect him internally. He has a higher chance of doing domestic violence because on the environment. Anger builds up in him of his father beaten his mom and he would take his frustration on his wife the same way of his father did.
