manipulative (low A2: Straightforwardness). In addition, overweight participants tended to be quick to anger (N2: Angry Hostility), preferred to be around others (E2: Gregariousness), and were less open to aesthetics (low O2: Aesthetics) and ideas (low O5: Ideas); obese participants tended to be happier (E6: Positive Emotions), concerned for others’ welfare (A3: Altruism), but less active (low E4: Activity) and less disciplined (low C5: Self-Discipline). With the exception of the difference between normal and overweight participants on E5: Excitement-Seeking, the findings did not change when we excluded underweight participants instead of including them with the normal weight participants.
