According to a new study by a team of psychologists, being "hangry" is a very real thing, something anyone who's ever replaced breakfast with coffee before heading to work has known for years.
It is the first study to look at the effects of being hangry in a real world environment.
The lead author of the study was inspired to conduct the study after he was told he was acting badly.
He wanted to find out if being hangry is a fact.
A group of people in Central Europe between the ages of 18 and 60 were studied. The subjects recorded their moods five times a day for three weeks.
The researchers were able to get over 9000 responses due to the frequent logging of the study's participants.
The participants were given a visual analogue scale of 0 to 100 to log their emotional states. This translated to a scale of "not hungry at all" to "very hungry" for their hungriness, and "not at all" to "very" for an emotional state.
According to the study, higher levels of self-reported hunger were associated with higher feelings of anger.
You get more angry as you get more hungry.
Only 58 percent of the people in the study eat breakfast and only 23 percent know when they're full.
"It's really important to be able to identify emotions like being hangry so we can mitigate against the negative effects."
The findings of this study could help us addresshangriness more effectively. It's important to get a good meal in the beginning.
