being 5 feet tall, I appreciate this idea, I wonder what it would be like to hang with the rest… I like this idea

VERY fascinating. I love when art meets psychology/sociology. Height differences really do fuel social interaction in interesting ways. I’m only 5’2″ and I have friends that are 6’5″ and friends that are my height, both extremes always have things to say about assumptions made that are affected by height.

It would have to be a fairly long gathering, as I think it would take some time to get over the novelty. I’d prefer several gatherings of strangers (like each night for 1 hour for a week). And then survey them all about each other.

Being a large man, I get called upon from time to time at work to “intimidate” a problem person. Sure I’m confident in most social circumstances, so I can “play the part” but I’m really a gentle guy with no innate interest or skill in such things.

We all play parts expected of us (even rebels).

Wow, Rebecca is the only one to have grasped the idea behind this project. Unfortunately, the ignorant masses have come to trash the comments section with their below-average intelligence. Hey people, go post comments on some Youtube video.

There have been many interesting studies about one’s height can have an influence in the way he/she is viewed by other people. There was an article in Psychology Today about tall men being more successful with women, and I also found this study : The Effect of Physical Height on Workplace Success and Income.

Anyway, very interesting article.

This is brilliant! Or was brilliant. As a 5 foot tall woman, I have to say that people make lots of assumptions about height. People perceive me as cute or fun, etc, but not powerful or a leader.

Remember, almost all recent presidents of the US have been tall. We all make decisions based upon a person’s height.

Interesting idea. Don’t tell Harrison Bergeron though.
