  "description": [
    "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."
