一般压力理论预测，有几个变量影响或制约压力对犯罪的影响。然而，对这种条件反射效应的研究充其量也只能得出好坏参半的结果。更大的压力和应对文献表明，为什么会出现这种情况：一个给定的条件变量有一个小到适度的应对策略的选择的影响，因为有数百种策略，从选择和策略的选择是由几个因素的影响。根据这一见解和一些文献，有人认为，某些因素必须收敛之前，犯罪应对是可能的：个人必须（a）拥有一套特点，共同创造一个强大的倾向，犯罪应对，（B）经验crimiogenic应变，这是被认为是不公正的和高的幅度;（c）在有利于犯罪应对的情况下。定性研究为这一论点提供了支持，并提供了定量测试的指导方针。
General strain theory predicts that several variables influence or condition the effect of strains on crime. The research on such conditioning effects, however, has produced mixed results at best. The larger stress and coping literature suggests why this is the case: a given conditioning variable has a small to modest effect on the choice of coping strategy, since there are hundreds of strategies from which to choose and the choice of strategy is influenced by several factors. Drawing on this insight and several literatures, it is argued that certain factors must converge before criminal coping is likely: individuals must (a) possess a set of characteristics that together create a strong propensity for criminal coping, (b) experience crimiogenic strains, which are perceived as unjust and high in magnitude; and (c) be in circumstances conducive to criminal coping. Qualitative studies provide support for this argument, and guidelines for quantitative testing are provided.
