It seems that the psychological situation plays a role in various aspects of life, and the latest discoveries are that the experience of power and the accompanying psychological privileges make one feel that he is taller than he is in reality.

And American researchers found that being in a position of authority leaves the person with the impression that he is taller than he actually is.

Jack Goncalo of the School of Labor Relations in New York and Michael Duguid of the University of Washington said their studies showed that a physical experience is associated with a sense of power and power.

Goncalo explained that a woman with a height of 162 centimeters feels that she is 5 centimeters taller when she is in a moment of power and influence.

He added, “When performing several manipulations with the level of authority and measurements related to height, we found that people see themselves as taller when they occupy a position of greater authority.”

“This is the first work to show that influence and power can make a person feel taller than he really is,” he added.

It is noteworthy that the study included 266 men and women, who underwent 3 tests.
