Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: General Strain Theory (GST) argues that strain (i.e., stress) leads to negative emotion and that negative emotion leads to criminal behavior. Though GST has received a significant amount of empirical support, very few studies have investigated gender differences in emotional reactions to strain and gender differences in the likelihood of criminal responses to emotion. This paper therefore asks the following research question: Do emotional reactions to strain and behavioral reactions to emotion differ by gender? Literature from the social psychology of emotion is used to develop hypotheses which are tested through a vignette study. Results suggest that gender differences in emotional reactions to strain are key in understanding gender differences in criminal behavior.
