Rating change question

I was wondering if it's only difference between two players ratings that decides the increase/decrease of ratings or if there are other factors involved. For example if you win a game decisively as opposed to getting a lucky win on an opponents blunder from a losing position would you still get the same increase or different? Any input appreciated. Thanks for reading!
There are other factors, but the decisiveness of the wins is not one of them.
Other factors are the rating deviations of the two players.
