00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Paradis, Sebastien author Ramirez, J. Martin author Cabanac, Michel author 2007 Violence and aggressiveness are social concerns. Also, at a time of rising prevalence of obesity, many people tend to control their body weight through dieting. We analyzed the impact of weight loss on aggressiveness: 150 participants completed anonymously two questionnaires assessing their aggressiveness, age, sex, diet, recent body weight change, reasons of recent body weight changes, and perceived difficulties related to those changes. Results showed that participants who had deliberately lost weight reported higher aggressiveness than controls, but passive weight-losers did not. The raised aggressiveness was stronger for hostile aggression than for instrumental aggression. Such a rise is likely to be due to the discomfort associated with opposing body weight set-point. 1841-0413 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/52979 http://www.ejop.org/archives/2007/11/emotional_and_i.html Emotional and instrumental aggressiveness and body weight loss
