Emotions and Crime over the Life Course: A Neo‐Meadian Perspective on Criminal Continuity and Change1 (2007, result): “While we cannot rule out biological explanations, or the idea that negative emotionality is a personality trait (Agnew et al. 2002), these data highlight that many of these reactions and feelings do appear to have strong social underpinnings.”
Anticipated Stigma and Stigma Management Among Those to be Labeled “Ex-con” (2008, background): “Although psychological variables such as personality characteristics (Agnew et al. 2002; Gendreau et al. 1996) and self-control (Gottfredson and Hirschi 1990) are becoming more important, most criminological theorizing has a strong sociological underpinning, emphasizing structural factors such as po”
Strain, Self-Control, and Gender Differences in Delinquency among Chinese Adolescents: Extending General Strain Theory (2010, background): “, Evans et al. 1997; Grasmick, Tittle, Bursik, and Arneklev 1993; Mason and Windle 2002; Meldrum 2008; Polakowski 1994; Turner and Piquero 2002; Wright et al. 1999). Notwithstanding their diversity, these measures have been shown to be useful in assessing the theory (Pratt and Cullen 2000). The most”
Déjà vu All Over Again: Investigating Temporal Continuity of Adolescent Victimization (2008, background): “Extant research indicates that individuals who exhibit more self-centeredness and negative emotionality tend to have greater involvement in antisocial or criminal activity (Miller and Lynam 2001; Agnew et al. 2002 ).”
General Strain Theory and Delinquency (2008, neutral): “Agnew et al. (2002), using the data from the National Survey of Children, also found that the more juveniles experience strain from family, school, and neighborhood relationships, the more likely they are to report delinquency.”
A LONGITUDINAL TEST OF THE EFFECTS OF PARENTING AND THE STABILITY OF SELF-CONTROL: NEGATIVE EVIDENCE FOR THE GENERAL THEORY OF CRIME* (2006, background): “At the present state of criminological knowledge, past delinquency may indicate low self-control, but is just as likely to indicate, for example, an aggressive, hostile view of relationships (Dodge, 1980, 1986), negative emotionality (Agnew, 1992; Agnew et al., 2002), or definitions favorable to dev”
Traditional Bullying, Cyber Bullying, and Deviance: A General Strain Theory Approach (2010, background): “Some recent studies find that the effects of self-control (or related concepts) are diminished in equations that include controls for other key theoretical variables (Agnew et al., 2002; Antonaccio & Tittle, 2008).”
Something Old, Something New: Revisiting Competing Hypotheses of the Victimization-Offending Relationship Among Adolescents (2011, background): “One increasingly popular idea along these lines is the notion that an individual’s level of risk propensity—due to personality and environmental factors—is a key moderator of the impact of time-varying variables on one’s involvement in offending and one’s risk of victimization (e.g., Ousey and Wilco”
General Strain Theory and School Bullying (2012, background): “Several studies (Agnew et al., 2002; Mazerolle & Maahs, 2000; Mazerolle & Piquero, 1997) indicate that strains produce negative emotions, which in turn result in deviance.”
General Strain Theory and the Relationship Between Early Victimization and Drug Use (2008, background): “Many of the studies that have examined the relationship between strain and deviant behavior include drug use in composite measures of delinquency (Agnew et al. 2002; Jang and Johnson 2003).”
