“…Everyday sadism entails aggression that is pleasure-driven and involves the infliction of physical and emotional pain on others to humiliate, punish or control them (Longpré et al, 2020a). In contrast to the important empirical work on the facets of the Dark Triad, research on everyday sadism is more limited, and the concept is often studied from the perspective of criminal behavior and sexual sadism (Buckels et al, 2013;Longpré et al, 2022). However, Longpré et al (2020b) have shown that sadism extends beyond a sexual disorder found in criminal populations, and in its subclinical form, it can predict maladaptive behaviors and delinquency such as traditional and online bullying (Geel et al, 2017), white-collar crime (Amos et al, 2022), sexual violence (Beckett & Longpré, 2022;Russell et al, 2017), atypical sexual violence , stalking (Tachmetzidi Papoutsi & Longpré, 2022), and homicide (Monckton-Smith et al, 2017).…”
