If you are the type to be interested in human behaviour, you should give this a read:
"The powerful size others down: The link between power and estimates of others' size"
Andy J. Yap, Malia F. Mason, Daniel R. Ames (2013)
So it's been shown that those who feel more powerful tend to judge a person in a photo as smaller than they actually are - interesting isn't it? And those who feel powerless judge others to be taller.
So you could see the implications of this already - if you're heading out for clubbing and feeling a bit powerless you're going to feel even more frightened of that freaky tall guy who keeps staring!
Lesson learnt: Dont be scared and you'll judge yourself as taller - that might just be enough help you brave out the situation =3
(Yep! Another post during what is supposed to be my study time - Yeahhh)
YOLO !
