Is Level Of Nervousness Linked To Body Height?

[petrushkagoogol]

A short man is more likely to be intimidated by a tall one than vice versa. (david vs goliath) ?

 

Is level of nervousness linked to height as a kind of collateral parameter ?

There may be some correlation,  and I am sure someone has studied it, and I can only speak in  anecdotal terms, but I am inclined to believe it depends on circumstances and the general psychological makeup of different individuals.  Being of above average stature myself as well as physical fitness, I have to  admit that I carry myself with a certain sense of personal security, even in unfamiliar and urban situations, and I am aware of some of my smaller and more frail friends being nervous and even scared in the same situations.  

 

However, I also know shorter people who are very confident, and seemingly secure, and I know taller people who suffer from social phobias.
