Abstract :  ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to explore whether General Strain Theory played a similar role for male and female deviant acts among the youths in Turkey. Data was derived from 974 students at a Turkish public university. The findings indicated that cumulative strain, anger, and criminal and non-criminal copings played similar roles for both males and females. The results questioned General Strain Theory’s gender difference thesis. Keywords: General strain theory, cumulative strain, gender, university students, Turkey
