尽管阿格纽(1992)的一般压力理论(GST)自提出以来得到了相当程度的支持，但研究人员很难解释为什么有些人比其他人更有可能对压力做出犯罪反应。这项研究使用了来自全国儿童调查的数据来解决这个问题。根据Agnew(1997)和对人格特征的心理学研究，预测高负面情绪和低约束的青少年将更有可能因犯罪而对紧张做出反应。数据支持这一预测。
Although Agnew's (1992) general strain theory (GST) has secured a fair degree of support since its introduction, researchers have had trouble explaining why some individuals are more likely than others to react to strain with delinquency. This study uses data from the National Survey of Children to address this issue. Drawing on Agnew (1997) and the psychological research on personality traits, it is predicted that juveniles high in negative emotionality and low in constraint will be more likely to react to strain with delinquency. Data support this prediction.
