Napoleon complex is a colloquial term describing an alleged type of inferiority complex which is said to affect some people, especially men, who are short in stature. The term is also used more generally to describe people who are driven by a perceived handicap to overcompensate in other aspects of their lives. This term is also known as Napoleon syndrome,[1] Short Man syndrome,[2] Little Man syndrome and Small Man syndrome. It does not appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)[3]
The Napoleon complex is named after French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The conventional wisdom is that Napoleon overcompensated for his short height by seeking power, war and conquest. However, Napoleon was actually of average height for his time period. The perception that Napoleon was short may be related to his often being seen with his Imperial Guard, who was of above average height.
In psychology, the Napoleon complex is regarded as a derogatory social stereotype.[4]

[edit] Research
In 2007, research by the University of Central Lancashire suggested that the Napoleon complex (described in terms of the theory that shorter men are more aggressive to dominate those who are taller than they) may be a myth. The study discovered that short men (below 5 foot 5 inches) were less likely to lose their temper than men of average height. The experiment involved subjects dueling each other with sticks, with one subject deliberately rapping the other's knuckles. Heart monitors revealed that the taller men were more likely to lose their tempers and hit back. University of Central Lancashire lecturer Dr Mike Eslea commented that "[w]hen people see a short man being aggressive, they are likely to think it is due to his size, simply because that attribute is obvious and grabs their attention."[2]
The Wessex Growth Study is a community-based longitudinal study conducted in the UK that monitored the psychological development of children from school entry to adulthood. The study was controlled for potential effects of gender and socioeconomic status, and found that "no significant differences in personality functioning or aspects of daily living were found which could be attributable to height";[5] this functioning included generalizations associated with the Napoleon complex, such as risk-taking behaviors.[6]
Professor Abraham Bunnk of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands has found evidence of the small man syndrome. Researchers at the University found that men that were 5'4" were 50% more likely to show signs of jealousy than men who were 6'6". Sociological experiments have shown that there are several advantages to being tall in attracting a mate, and the small man syndrome is believed to be an evolutionary adaptation.[7]
[edit] In evolutionary theory
The term "Napoleon complex" has been used in scientific research on the phenomenon of smaller organisms acting aggressively towards larger organisms. In contrast to the many examples of larger organisms acting aggressively towards smaller organisms in the animal kingdom, some studies of aggressive behavior in organisms have detected cases where smaller individuals initiate aggression.[8] A 1995 study of contests between males in the swordtail fish species Xiphophorus nigrensis and Xiphophorus multilineatus found that 78% of observed fights were initiated by the smaller fish, and in 70% of fights the fish that delivered the first bite lost the conflict.[9] From an evolutionary perspective, this "Napoleon complex" behavior seems irrational.[8]
Posited explanations include an asymmetry in the value of the contested resource to the two combatants (the individual with lower resource holding potential may attack first if the value of the resource is greater for him), a misconception on the part of the weaker organism about his own strength, and the "Desperado Effect", where omega males attack because they have no other opportunities to gain resources.[10]
Ohio University researchers have suggested another explanation, that the stronger contestant benefits from delaying escalating a display to a fight, "leaving the initiative to the opponent and hoping for him to retreat, either because of realistic perception of his chances to win the fight or by mistake. [...] our proposed explanation for what is commonly considered the 'Napoleon Complex' might be appropriately identified as the 'Gentle Giant Syndrome.'"[11]
A University of Glasgow study concluded that a Napoleon complex evolutionarily stable strategy, where smaller individuals are more aggressive than larger opponents, is possible when smaller individuals display and larger individuals retreat; this may occur when the smaller individual has some chance to win a fight and resources are abundant and of relatively low value.[8]

You may as get it over with now and tell us all you are natural, and you just bust your ass in the gym ::)
-
I am natural :) I have to dig some pics up of when i was 14-15 years old, already had good foundation. The biggest thing that helped me over the years is (here comes the secret everyone always talks about) staying consistent!! I never missed workouts and always ate at least 5 meals a day.Most of all i never stress over getting bigger. I just have fun. I really do think that staying consistent and never missing a workout is the biggest secret.

are you training to be a cagefighter too champ?
-
lol whats the point of telling the truth. even if i said i took 400 of test and 300 of eq. No one would believe it. I would get replies like 1000 of test and 600 eq.
-
All i have to say is Milos and Bob are right when they say that its all about genetics and smaller dosages. If you have to take 1000 of test as a bigginer just to place at the local show then you picked the wrong sport to be in!!
-
my cage fighting days are over but in my gym i did run into Andrey Arlovski (he is from my home town) and Mariusz Pudzianowski.
-
congratulations on partially admitting your steroid use so quickly.
