They are especially prone to react defensively to ego threats, and they are also more prone to hostility, anger and aggression than other people. "These findings shed considerable light on the psychology of the bully. Hostile people do not have low self esteem; on the contrary, they think highly of themselves, But their favorable view of themselves is not held with total conviction, and it goes up and down in response to daily events. The bully has a chip on his shoulder because he thinks you might want to deflate his favorable self image." Roy F. Baumeister Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty p 149
