title: Impact of height on assessments of Finnish female job applicants' managerial abilities.
abstract: The impact of height on assessments of female job applicants' managerial abilities was examined in a study in which 44 subjects assessed 78 subordinates in natural settings. On global evaluations, tall women were regarded, as expected, as better managers than shorter women. On trait-type assessments, only one difference was found between the ratings of tall and short applicants.
