“…At the physiological level, reactive coping is associated with higher HPA axis reactivity than proactive coping. 19 , 22 However, according to the two-tier model, reactive copers can show a low HPA axis- or “emotional” reactivity (cf. 15 , 23 ) due to the independence of behavioral coping style and HPA axis reactivity.…”

Animals regularly experience stressful situations, ranging from predation to social stress, yet successfully deal with them on most occasions. This adaptive mechanism, coping, reduces the adverse effects of stressors through behavioural and physiological efforts, failing to which may result in reduced fitness. However, considerable variation in coping is observed. Unlike in humans, coping is often considered a personality trait in non-human animals due to construct similarity, resulting in conceptual ambiguity. Besides, limited multidisciplinary research has rendered comprehending the drivers of coping in animals challenging. We assessed repetitive behavioural coping or coping styles (n=30), emotional arousal (n=12), and consistent inter-individual differences, i.e., personalities (n=32) of long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) using observations, ecologically relevant experiments, and infrared thermography. We finally investigated the association of coping with a Valine/Methionine polymorphism encoded by the Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene (n=26), which is widely known for its involvement in human stress regulation. Our findings suggest that personality and the presence of the human equivalentCOMTVal158Met polymorphism in long-tailed macaques are associated with ‘emotion-focused’ and ‘problem-focused’ coping styles. These coping styles were consistent with emotional arousal as measured with infrared thermography. We discuss these proximate drivers of coping for a better understanding of its evolution in primates.
