摘要：

身高对心理因素的影响被称为身高的心理效应。日常生活中, 人们普遍认为身高较高者有更多机遇、更受重视。本文对探究身高心理效应的文献进行了梳理, 发现身高影响人们的社会知觉、人格、择偶行为和心理健康水平。身高的这些效应在一定程度上可以从进化心理学、社会规范、视知觉及自证预言等视角加以解释。未来的研究应进一步理清变量之间的关系, 拓展身高的测量方式和研究方法, 进一步探究其内在机制, 并挖掘身高心理效应在中国情境下的独特性。

关键词: 身高, 社会知觉, 主观幸福感, 进化心理学

Abstract:

The influence of body height on psychological issues and processes is defined as psychological effects of body height. It is widely believed that taller people have more opportunities and received more attention in daily life. In this article, we reviewed the literature on the psychological effects of body height. Past research indicate that body height influences an individual’s social perceptions, personality traits, mate selection and mental health. These psychological effects of body height can be explained by evolutionary theories, social norms, visual perceptions and self-fulfilling prophecies. Future research could further explore the effects of body height on other outcome variables and examine the mechanism, improve the accuracy of height measurement and rigor of research methods. The unique effects of body height in China could also be further examined.

Key words: body height, social perception, subjective well-being, evolutionary psychology
