This paper explores three core questions of premises of GST: (1) does strain (or stress) have a positive effect on substance use (smoking and ci garette use); (2) is the effect of strain on substance use ‘mediated’ by anger; (3) is the effect of strain on substance use ‘moderated’ by criminal and noncriminalforces (e.g., “coping” factors)?The findings did not lend support for General Strain Theory.

Abstract

Although the applications of criminological theories on criminal behavior or substance use issues among the scholars in the developed countries, especially in the United States, have been a widespread practice, this is not the case in Turkey. The study tests the General Strain Theory (GST) on substance use among undergraduate students at a state university (n= 974). This paper explores three core questions of premises of GST: (1) does strain (or stress) have a positive effect on substance use (smoking and ci garette use); (2) is the effect of strain on substance use ‘mediated’ by anger; (3) is the effect of strain on substance use ‘moderated’ by criminal and noncriminalforces (e.g., “coping” factors)?The findings did not lend support for General Strain Theory.

Özet

Gelişmiş Batı ülkelerinde, özellikle Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde, suç teorilerinin kriminal veya madde kullanımı gibi konulara uyarlanmaları yaygın olmasına rağmen, Türkiye’de durum böyle değildir. Bu çalışma bir devlet üniversitesi öğrencileri örneğinde Genel Gerilim Teorisi ve madde kullanımı arasındaki ilişkiyi test etmektedir (n= 974). İlgili teorinin şu üç temel tezi keşfedilmektedir: İlk olarak, gerilimin (veya stresin) madde kullanımı (sigara ve alkol kullanımı) üzerinde ‘pozitif’ bir etkisinin olup -olmadığı; ikincisi, gerilimin madde kullanımı üzerindeki etkisininkızgınlık duygusu tarafından ‘aracılık’ edilip-edilmediği; üçüncüsü de, gerilimin madde kullanımı üzerindeki etkisinin suç ve suçla ilgisi olmayan faktörler (suça yol açan veya destekleyen) tarafından ‘şekilldendirilip-şekillendirilmediğidir.’ Bulgular Genel Gerilim Teorisini desteklememektedir.
