基于身高作为判断地位、优势和领导潜力的启发式的想法，检验了两个假设：（1）美国总统选举获胜者的身高与选举年的社会、经济和政治威胁的估计呈正相关。(2)无论选举年对社会、经济和政治威胁的估计有多大，身高和胜利差距都呈正相关。这两种假设在1824年至1992年的43次选举中都得到了支持。
Based on the idea that height serves as a heuristic for judgments about status, dominance, and leadership potential, two hypotheses were tested: (1) Heights of U.S. presidential election winners are positively correlated with estimates of social, economic, and political threat in election years. (2) Height and victory margin are positively correlated regardless of the magnitude of estimates of social, economic, and political threat in election years. Both hypotheses were supported for the 43 elections from 1824 to 1992.
