Abstract

ABSTRACT Based on the interpretations of Agnew's general strain theory (GST), White, African-American, and Hispanic adolescents and young adults were examined longitudinally to identify the intersection between strain and depression that could produce a long-term effect on substance use. Results from full sample and group-based path models indicate that some support was found for the general tenets of GST. African-Americans were significantly different from Whites and Hispanics in regard to experiencing certain types of strain; however, the results were not always in the anticipated direction. Possible theoretical reasons for the findings and directions for future research are discussed.

一般应变理论、抑郁和物质使用:来自全国代表性的白人、非裔美国人和西班牙裔青少年和年轻人纵向样本的结果

摘要基于对阿格纽一般应激理论（GST）的解释，对白人、非裔美国人和西班牙裔青少年和年轻人进行了纵向调查，以确定应激和抑郁之间的交叉点，这些交叉点可能对药物使用产生长期影响。全样本和基于组的路径模型的结果表明，对GST的一般原则有一定的支持。非裔美国人在经历某些类型的紧张方面与白人和西班牙裔有显著差异；然而，结果并不总是朝着预期的方向发展。讨论了这些发现可能的理论原因以及未来研究的方向。
