Mindset (Set) - the mental state a person brings to the experience including mood, thoughts, and expectations. The mindset can be influenced by personality, beliefs, emotions and the intention set by the person.

Setting - the physical and social environment. This includes location, social presence or lack of presence, and engagement with all senses such as sound and smell.
