Abstract
1467 participants completed an online study examining how the weights of bullies and victims in a peer aggression scenario impacted the personality characteristics (PC) attributed to each. Overweight bullies had more negative and fewer positive PC ascribed to them. PCs ascribed to victims were impacted by victim and bully weight.
