Participants underwent both a standardized psychosocial laboratory stressor (TSST-G) and a control condition. Then, they performed a homemade version of the facial expressions megamix. All six basic emotions were included in the task. First, our results show a systematic increase in the intensity threshold for disgust following stress, meaning that the participants' performance with this emotion was impaired. We suggest that this may reflect an adaptive coping mechanism where participants attempt to decrease their anxiety and protect themselves from a socio-evaluative threat. Second, our results show a systematic decrease in the intensity threshold for surprise, therefore positively affecting the participants' performance with that emotion. We suggest that the enhanced perception of surprise following the induction of social stress may be interpreted as an evolutionary adaptation, wherein being in a stressful environment increases the benefits of monitoring signals indicating the presence of a novel or threatening event. An alternative explanation may derive from the opposite nature of the facial expressions of disgust and surprise; the decreased recognition of disgust could therefore have fostered the propensity to perceive surprise. © 2017 The Author(s).},

Subjects and method: This cross-sectional study investigated two groups of male adolescents (n = 196) consisting of youth sexual offenders and non-offender peers. Examination of the coping strategies was measured by a Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). Results: It was hypothesized that youth sexual offenders used sex-related activities and emotions as coping strategies to alleviate negative emotional states and problematic situations. The results obtained demonstrated that youth sexual offenders make less use of sex-related activities as a way of coping with stressful situations, but make more use of emotions-coping strategies when compared to non-offender peers. An attempt was made to predict youth as sexual offenders or non-offenders according to the coping strategies they used in times of stress. The logistic regression model used was statistically significant and the analysis performed increased the likelihood of correctly identifying youth sexual offenders based on the coping strategies used in times of stress. Conclusion: The results of the study demonstrated that youth sexual offenders have a tendency to use emotional responses to cope with life's difficulties, which may be increasing their level of stress and thereby placing them at a higher risk to offend sexually. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.
