It's know that taller people tend to have more jobs with more authority and higher salaries but there is a flip 1 side the more powerful person is the taller hero she feels. The researchers investigate the * with inspired by the BP chairman's comment after the oil spoil about the small people. There are many such mighty 2 force think big man on campus could this mighty force influence or reflect reality, might powerful people actually overestimate 3 how tall they are? Scientist created 3 experiments with nearly 300 participants, in need the participants were made to feel more or less powerful being chosen as the manager of this *. Then they face the task which estimate their own height comparing the actual height to a pole, for example or chosen the height over their avatar. In each case when the participants win the position of power they represent their height as significant taller than those in weaker positions. The research was published in the journal Psychological Science. So the researchers conclude they could be legal CEO of BP and * let them to a new finding when we feel powerful. We feel on top of the world or quite literally 4 tall.
