The word “hangry” may have only been added to the Oxford English dictionary early this year, but it describes something that people have been feeling for countless generations when hunger drives one to feel irritable or temperamental. Now, a new study suggests that it’s more than just hunger that makes people feel this way.
In a study published Monday by the American Psychological Association, a team of researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill examined the psychological mechanisms that could influence people to feel hangry. This was done by recruiting more than 400 participants, who were given a series of online tests where they were shown images that could trigger positive, negative, or neutral feelings.
