Using a sample of 615 middle- and high-school students from rural and urban areas of the People's Republic of China, this study tests the effects of coping strategies predicted by Agnew's (1992) general strain theory (GST), in which the impact of strain on delinquency is conditioned by adolescents' social and personal resources. Results provide support for the coping strategies hypotheses posited by GST, in a non-Western culture. Social supports in the three major domains of family, school, and peer group have cross-domain and within-domain buffering effects on the relationships between juvenile delinquency and interpersonal problems in these domains, and moral beliefs have all-domain buffering effects. Girls are more likely to use cross-domain support resources in managing interpersonal problems, whereas boys are more susceptible to delinquent peers in their adaptation to interpersonal strain in all domains. The implications of the findings to intervention were discussed.
本研究以来自中华人民共和国农村和城市地区的615名中学生和高中生为样本，检验了阿格纽（1992）的一般应激理论（GST）所预测的应对策略的效果，该理论认为应激对犯罪的影响取决于青少年的社会和个人资源。研究结果为一般应激理论在非西方文化中提出的应对策略假设提供了支持。家庭、学校和同伴群体这三个主要领域的社会支持对这些领域中青少年犯罪与人际问题之间的关系具有跨领域和领域内的缓冲作用，而道德信念具有全领域的缓冲作用。女孩在处理人际问题时更有可能使用跨领域的支持资源，而男孩在适应所有领域的人际压力时更容易受到不良同伴的影响。文中还讨论了研究结果对干预措施的启示。
