Human behavior is influenced by internal (personal and psychological) and external factors (family, culture, economy, physical environment, etc.). I would be very grateful if someone could provide me bibliographical references of authors who have formalized generic models of human behavior that include these variables.
We have formulated a distress-meaninglessness modell (DMM) relative to suicidal ideation.

In social psychology, Lewin's equation provides what you're looking for:
B = f(P, E)

Start with theTheory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991) and the Social Cognitive Career THeory (Lent et al., 2002)
Hi, I guess the most famous systemic theory in this field is the ecological theory by Bronfenbrenner. Originally born as a child development theory, is a clear modelization of the micro and macro factors influencing the man-environment relationship.
An other interesting starting point in Environmental Psychology would be:
World views in psychology and environmental psychology: Trait, interactional, organismic, and transactional perspectives. I Altman, B Rogoff.
We've considered some of the most well-tested theories of human behavior (especially TPB and VBN) in our review paper (attached), as well as external factors (cultural, environmental, and economic). While our review is in the context of changing behaviors in the marine environment, the theories we discuss may be useful to you, as might the decision tree we developed to help marine managers decide which factors and theories could be useful for intervention design.
All the best for your research!
Kind regards,
Vicki

You might also want to look at the life course perspective. It adds the notion that early life events can change the context in which current choices are made.
See for example:
- Elder, 1998: The Life Course as Developmental Theory
- Mayer, 2009: Ne Directions in Life Course Research
I would add Erich Fromm social character idea and of course his theory of human needs. For many articles from and about him look here: https://opus4.kobv.de/opus4-Fromm/home
