Abstract：
Emotion recognition is central in prosocial interaction, enabling the inference of mental and affective states. Individuals who have committed sexual offenses are known to exhibit socio-affective deficits, one of the four dynamic risk assessment dimensions found in the literature. Few research focused on emotion recognition. The available literature, exclusively on individuals in prison who have committed sexual offenses, showed contrasting results. Some found a global (across all emotions) or specific (e.g., anger, fear) deficit in emotion recognition. In contrast, others found no difference between individuals in prison who have committed sexual offenses and those who have committed non-sexual offenses. In addition, no such study has been undertaken among forensic inpatients who exhibit socio-affective deficits. This study aims to investigate the recognition of dynamic facial expressions of emotion in 112 male participants divided into three groups: forensic inpatients who have committed sexual offenses (n = 37), forensic inpatients who have committed non-sexual offenses (n = 25), and community members (n = 50), using the Signal Detection Theory indices: sensitivity (d\') and response bias (c). In addition, measures related to reaction time, emotion labeling reflection time, task easiness, and easiness reflection time were also collected. Non-parametric analyses (Kruskall-Wallis\' H, followed by Mann-Whitney\'s U with Dunn-Bonferroni correction) highlighted that the two forensic inpatient groups exhibited emotion recognition deficits when compared to community members. Forensic inpatients who have committed sexual offenses were more conservative in selecting the surprise label than community members. They also took significantly more time to react to stimuli and to select an emotional label. Despite emotion recognition deficits, the two forensic inpatient groups reported more stimuli easiness than community members.
摘要：
情感识别是亲社会互动的核心，能够推断心理和情感状态。已知犯有性犯罪的人表现出社会情感缺陷，文献中发现的四个动态风险评估维度之一。很少有研究集中在情感识别上。现有文献,专门针对在监狱中犯有性犯罪的个人，显示对比结果。有些人发现了一个全球性的(跨越所有情绪)或特定的(例如，愤怒,恐惧)情感识别中的缺陷。相比之下,其他人发现在监狱中犯有性犯罪的人和犯有非性犯罪的人之间没有区别。此外,尚未在表现出社会情感缺陷的法医住院患者中进行此类研究。这项研究旨在调查112名男性参与者对动态面部表情的识别，这些参与者分为三组：犯有性犯罪的法医住院患者（n=37），犯有非性犯罪的法医住院病人(n=25)，和社区成员(n=50)，使用信号检测理论指数：灵敏度(d')和响应偏差(c)。此外,与反应时间相关的措施，情感标签反射时间，任务容易，还收集了容易反射时间。非参数分析(Kruskall-Wallis\'H，随后是Mann-Whitney的U与Dunn-Bonferroni更正）强调，与社区成员相比，这两个法医住院组表现出情感识别缺陷。犯有性犯罪的法医住院患者在选择惊喜标签方面比社区成员更为保守。他们还花费了更多的时间来对刺激做出反应并选择情感标签。尽管情感识别缺陷，两个法医住院组报告的刺激容易性比社区成员多。
