美国原住民（NA）青少年犯罪是刑事司法研究人员和从业人员所忽视的主要问题之一。为了探究负性家庭环境是否通过负性情绪的中介作用影响青少年犯罪，本研究基于一般应变理论（GST）建立了结构方程模型。本研究使用非裔青少年的数据，发现许多支持GST的证据。带愤怒的模型结果表明，愤怒是家庭冷漠与犯罪之间的中介变量，带抑郁的模型结果表明，家庭冷漠通过抑郁增加犯罪。然而，在包含愤怒和抑郁的模型中，一些结果并不符合GST假设。
Native American (NA) youth's delinquency is one of the major problems that have been overlooked by criminal justice researchers and practitioners. To examine if negative family environment influences their delinquency with the mediating effect of negative emotion, this study analyzed structural equation modeling based on the General Strain Theory (GST). Using data regarding NA adolescents, this study found much evidence supporting GST. The results of the model with anger showed that anger was a mediating variable between family indifferences and delinquency, and the model with depression indicated that family indifferences increased delinquency through depression. However, some results in the model with anger and depression were not in accordance with GST hypothesis.
