Height discrimination refers to the unfair treatment of individuals based on their height. This bias can occur in various settings, including the workplace, social situations, and dating. Taller individuals may be perceived as more competent or authoritative, while shorter individuals might face stereotypes that affect their opportunities and interactions. Research shows that height can influence hiring decisions, promotions, and even salary levels. In some cultures, height is associated with leadership qualities, leading to a preference for taller candidates. This form of discrimination can impact self-esteem and mental health, highlighting the need for awareness and change in societal attitudes toward height.
