本文检验了阿格纽（1992）关于犯罪和违法行为的一般紧张理论（GST）。GST认为，当他人（1）阻止或威胁阻止您实现积极价值的目标时，就会发生紧张，（2）删除或威胁删除您拥有的积极价值的刺激，或者（3）呈现或威胁呈现有害或消极价值的刺激。这种压力对青少年犯罪的影响据说受到几个变量的制约，例如与青少年犯罪同龄人的联系和自我效能。来自1,380名新泽西青少年样本的数据为该理论提供了合格的支持;上述类型的应变措施对犯罪和吸毒有相对实质性的影响。此外，这些应变措施的效果是由不良同伴和自我效能的条件，如预测的商品及服务税
This paper tests Agnew's (1992) general strain theory (GST) of crime and delinquency. GST argues that strain occurs when others (1) prevent or threaten to prevent you from achieving positively valued goals, (2) remove or threaten to remove positively valued stimuli that you possess, or (3) present or threaten to present you with noxious or negatively valued stimuli. The impact of such strain on delinquency is said to be conditioned by several variables, such as association with delinquent peers and self-efficacy. Data from a sample of 1,380 New Jersey adolescents provide qualified support for the theory; strain measures of the type described above have a relatively substantial effect on delinquency and drug use. Further, the effect of these strain measures is conditioned by delinquent peers and self-efficacy, as predicted by GST
