“…Among these, three of the eight were from Western countries: Italy (Froggio and Agnew 2007), Iceland (Sigfusdottir et al 2004), and Greece, Russia, and the Ukraine (Botchkovar et al 2009). The other five studies were all from Asia: the Philippines (Maxwell 2001), China (Bao et al 2007), and South Korea (Moon and Morash 2004;Moon et al 2008;Morash and Moon 2007).…”

general strain theory (GST) argues that subjective strain and objective strain should be distinguished from each other, and that subjective strain should be related more strongly to delinquency. In addition, GST suggests that the straindelinquency relationship is conditioned by certain conditioning factors, and that research should treat these conditioning factors as a whole, i.e., the individual's "overall" standing regarding these conditional factors. The present study uses a random sample of Taiwanese adolescents (13-17 years old) to study these two issues. The results suggest that strain as measured in this study is related positively to delinquency; however, subjective strain does not differ from objective strain in predicting delinquency. Additionally, the "overall standing" conditioning factors interact differently with subjective strain and objective strain but in the expected direction.

“…Exposure to stressful life events has been associated with crime and violence among adults (Broidy 2001;Eitle and Turner 2003;Straus 1980), and delinquency and violence against peers among adolescents (Baker et al 2010;Morash and Moon 2007;Ngo and Le 2007;Youngstrom et al 2003). A number of studies have also found a link between life stressors and the perpetration of intimate partner violence in adulthood (Cano and Vivian 2001;Mason and Smithey 2012;Roberts et al 2011).…”

Theoretical and empirical evidence suggests that stressful life events are associated with the perpetration of intimate partner violence among adults, but little attention has been given to the relationship between stressful life events and adolescent dating abuse, a prevalent form of violence that results in serious and long-lasting consequences. The current study addresses this gap by examining associations between family-, peer-, school-, and health-related stressful life events and the perpetration of both psychological and physical forms of dating abuse in a sample of 1,125 adolescents (54.6% female, 18% Black), and determining whether these associations are moderated by attributes of the family (closeness to parent) and the adolescent (sex and self-esteem). The total number of stressful events and school-related events were positively associated with the perpetration of psychological dating abuse and family-related events were related to the perpetration of psychological dating abuse for boys, but not girls. Closeness to parent buffered the effect of stressful health-related events on the perpetration of physical dating abuse, but exacerbated the effect of stressful family-related events on the perpetration of physical dating abuse. Health-related events were associated with physical perpetration for those with high, but not low self-esteem. Finally, the total number of stressful events and family-related events were related to the perpetration of physical dating abuse by boys, but not by girls. Taken together, these findings suggest that stressful life events play an important role in adolescent dating abuse, and should be taken into consideration when developing adolescent dating abuse prevention programs.

“…Children's perceptions, as opposed to parental ones, were critical for this study as "the perception of parent style by the child is more important than actual parenting" (Steinberg et al, 1992, p. 32). Primary students in grades four through six were selected to be used for this study because pre-adolescent children are primarily influenced and controlled by family at this age rather than by outside influences such as negative peers (Moon & Morash, 2004;Morash & Moon, 2007;Noyot-Corbitt & Moon, 2010). High academic achievement was verified for each study participant via standardized state English/Language Arts and Mathematics test score reports.…”
