虽然一般压力理论（GST）承认人们在应对压力时采取的各种合法和不合法的应对行为，但该理论的测试几乎完全集中在犯罪应对上。我们提出的理论阐明的作用，合理的应对GST的过程中。我们测试理论的假设，压力增加合法和非法的应对和负面情绪更强烈地增加非法的应对。我们还借鉴了阿格纽最近的工作，并期望这些应对策略共同发生，而不是相互排斥。我们调查这些假设与黑人叛乱，特别是非暴力民权抗议（合法的应对）和骚乱（非法的应对）。从1968年的一项大型调查的黑人，多变量的研究结果是一致的理论的期望的作用，合法的应对。更广泛地说，我们的研究结果回应了将学科边界扩展到传统的“犯罪”概念之外的呼吁。"
While General Strain Theory (GST) recognizes the broad range of legitimate and illegitimate coping behaviors people adopt in reaction to strain, tests of the theory focus almost exclusively on criminal coping. We advance the theory by articulating the role of legitimate coping in the GST process. We test the theory's assumptions that strain increases both legitimate and illegitimate coping and that negative emotions more strongly increase illegitimate coping. We also draw on recent work by Agnew and expect that these coping strategies co-occur rather than being mutually exclusive. We investigate these hypotheses in relation to black insurgency, specifically nonviolent civil-rights protest (legitimate coping) and rioting (illegitimate coping). Using data from a large 1968 survey of blacks, multivariate findings are consistent with the theory's expectations regarding the role of legitimate coping. More broadly, our results echo calls to extend the boundaries of the discipline beyond traditional conceptualizations of "crime."
