“…The GST has served as a theoretical framework to elucidate various deviant behaviors, including delinquency [13][14][15]54], substance abuse [55][56][57], domestic violence [58,59], and child abuse [60,61]. Other researchers have also used the theory to interpret suicidal behavior [62,63]. In relation to this research, a number of scholars have used the GST to explain the relationship between bullying victimization and suicidal behaviors [46,64].…”

Research from Western countries, Asia, and some parts of Africa has documented that bullying victimization has ramifications for adolescents, including suicidal tendencies. Some studies have also reported that loneliness among teenagers is strongly linked to suicidal behavior. However, little is known about whether loneliness mediates bullying victimization and suicidal behavior. The present study aims to apply the general strain theory to explore the relationship between being bullied and suicidal behavior among juveniles in Ghana. The study also examines the effect of bullying victimization on loneliness. Additionally, the research evaluates the impact of loneliness on suicidal behavior. Lastly, the study explores the mediation role of loneliness on the association between peer victimization and suicidal behavior among juveniles in Ghana. Data from the 2012 Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) and a sample size of 2626 were used in this research. The results revealed that bullying victimization positively predicted loneliness, and bullying victimization and loneliness significantly predicted suicidal behavior. Finally, loneliness partially mediated the association between bullying experience and suicidal behavior. This study not only provides new evidence to support the general strain theory (GST) but also discusses the theoretical and political implications of the findings.

“…Building on Merton's (1938) early classical strain theory, Agnew (1992) argued that strain can be derived from various sources rather than economic failure, which Merton (1938) had proposed. Strain can be negative or adverse relationships (Yildiz and Solakoglu, 2019), including peer rejection and abusive peer relationships (Agnew, 2006). According to Agnew (1992), the general strain theory posits that "strain" (e.g., bullying victimization) or stressors can increase the risk of developing negative emotions, such as anger, which creates pressure for corrective actions, such as deviant behaviors (e.g., suicidality).…”

The present study explores the relationship between bullying victimization and suicidal thoughts among African American adolescents in urban neighborhoods. The study, which was guided by the general strain theory, proposed and tested potential pathways that link bullying victimization with suicidal thoughts through the mediators including emotional distress, low future orientation, hopelessness, and drug use. The study sample included 414 African American adolescents who were between ages 12 and 22 years and residing in low-income Chicago's South Side neighborhoods. Descriptive statistics, bivariate correlation, and path analyses were conducted. Bullying victimization was not significantly related to suicidal thoughts, although it was positively associated with emotional distress and drug use. The association between low future orientation and hopelessness was bidirectional. The study findings have implications for practice, which is important as resources to assist adolescents who are affected by violence tend to be limited.

“…General Strain Theory (GST) argues that strains or stressors strongly trigger negative emotions like anger and frustration (Barbieri & Clipper, 2019). Negative emotions create an adverse pressure for remedial action by a victim (Yıldız & Solakoglu, 2019). Crime is a notion of escapism to reduce the strain (e.g., stealing the money for your desire) seeking revenge or improving pessimistic personal views associated with feelings (e.g., through illicit drug use), (Liu & Miller, 2019).…”

The past decade has seen a growing number of casual dining restaurants in Malaysia. This trend of consumption is due to modern lifestyle, socio-demographic, and social media influence. Nevertheless, restaurants struggle to maintain a productive work environment and report to have association with incivility and deviant behaviour which in long run create destruction. The aim of this paper is to examine the influence of co-worker incivility towards employees performing deviant behaviour with the moderating role of emotional labour. Total of 120 questionnaires were distributed to the frontline employees of casual restaurants in the Klang Valley. The result pointed out that there was a significant positive correlation between co-worker incivility and deviant behaviour with a moderating effect of emotional labour.
