Tall people lead 'better lives' / Short men 'are the most jealous'
Two interesting articles on how height can affect confidence and quality of life.
From Tall people lead 'better lives':
Taller people live better lives, according to US researchers.
More than 454,000 adults aged 18 and over were asked by phone for their height and evaluate their lives.
Overall, taller individuals judged their lives more favourably and were more likely to report positive emotions such as enjoyment and happiness.
Reporting to the journal Economics and Human Biology, they conclude that this is because the taller people also had higher incomes and education.

From Short men 'are the most jealous':
Short men are the most likely to be jealous, scientists believe.
Spanish and Dutch researchers quizzed 549 men and women to rate how jealous they felt and to identify the qualities that made them feel the most insecure.
Men felt most nervous about attractive, rich and strong rivals, but the taller ones were the most relaxed, the New Scientist magazine reported.
Women were most jealous of others' beauty and charm - with short and tall women the most jealous.
Average-height women, while being the least jealous, were mostly likely to feel insecure by women who were of a different height.
