一般应激理论(Agnew in Criminology 30：47-87,1992)得到了广泛的经验支持，但对应激-犯罪关系的调节因素知之甚少。这项研究测试了自我控制是否减弱了某种类型的犯罪--暴力--与其最重要的前驱--被认为是一种紧张类型--人际挑衅之间的关系。本研究比较了风险亲和力和自我控制/冲动对挑衅-暴力环节的制约作用，因为最近的研究建议区分这两个特征。方法(1)使用随机变化的客观挑衅程度和投射暴力的情景设计，(2)使用自我报告的过去暴力和对挑衅的主观敏感度的测量来检验挑衅-暴力环节。这些分析是基于2013年采访的西德五个城市的七年级学生(n=2635)的大样本。结果自我控制和风险亲和力都调节了个体对挑衅行为的主观敏感性与既往暴力行为之间的关系。自制力强的学生能够控制自己的愤怒，即使在很容易被激怒的时候也不会变得暴力。然而，在控制自我控制的条件性效应时，只有风险亲和力显著放大客观挑衅对预期暴力的影响。结论研究结果强调，自我控制和风险厌恶都是重要的应对资源。这项研究强调了在研究非法应对过程和制约因素时使用内部一致和机制一致的措施的重要性，并不鼓励使用可能是多层面的综合措施。
ObjectivesGeneral Strain Theory (Agnew in Criminology 30:47–87, 1992) has received broad empirical support, but little is known about moderators of the strain-delinquency relationship. This study tests whether self-control attenuates the relationship between a certain type of delinquency—violence—and its most important precursor, considered a type of strain: interpersonal provocation. This study compares the conditioning effects of risk-affinity and self-control/impulsivity on the provocation-violence link, since recent work suggests differentiating between both characteristics.MethodsThe provocation-violence link is examined (1) using a scenario design with randomly varied degrees of objective provocation and a measure of projected violence, and (2) with measures of self-reported past violence and subjective sensitivity to provocation. The analyses are based on a large sample of seventh-graders (n = 2635) from five cities in Western Germany, interviewed in 2013. Linear probability models regressing violence measures on personal traits, provocation measures, and their interactions are estimated.ResultsBoth self-control and risk-affinity moderate the relationship between subjective sensitivity to provocation and past violent behavior. Students with high self-control are able to control their anger and do not turn violent, even when they feel provoked easily. However, only risk-affinity significantly amplifies the effect of objective provocation on prospective violence when simultaneously controlling for the conditioning effect of self-control.ConclusionsFindings underscore that both self-control and risk-aversion are important coping resources. This study highlights the importance of using internally consistent and mechanism-congruent measures in the study of illicit coping processes and conditioning factors and discourages from using composite, potentially multidimensional measures.
