focus on .....as结构

Many theories focus either on the individual or on society as major contributing influence. 请问这里的as major contributing influence.是作宾补吗？还是修饰前面名词的定语？

as介词短语并不是单纯修饰名词，而是与动词focus有关。所以应该分析为与宾语有关的状语。focus on A as B 把A当作B而予以关注。

focus either on A or on B as C 要么把A当作C，要么把B当作C而予以关注。

Many theories focus either on the individual or on society as major contributing influence.

= Many theories focus either on the individual as major contributing influence.or on society as major contributing influence.

Many theories focus either on the individual or on society as major contributing influence.

参考译文：很多的理论要么就是关注个体，要么就是关注(作为)起主要影响作用的社会。

as major contributing influence为介词短语作后置定语，修饰名词“society”
