The group of individuals with excessive body weight is heterogeneous in terms of personality traits. There are no differences in the intensity of Dark Tetrad traits (narcissism, psychopathy, machiavellianism, sadism) compared to individuals with normal body weight. Levels of psychological resilience are also similar. Sadism may have different structures and functions in both groups. In people with normal weight, it is personality-related, while in overweight individuals, it is reactive. This alters the connection between sadism and resilience
