以往关于感知空间布局的研究发现，人们在感知环境时往往会表现出规范性的偏差。例如，倾斜度通常被高估，而距离通常被低估。然而，令人惊讶的是，对身高的感知很少被研究。本实验考察了从上往下看(例如向下看)或从下往上看(例如向上看)时对高度的感知。从以前的水平范围研究中采用了多种测量方法来评估身高感知。在所有的衡量标准中，都发现了一个巨大的、一致的偏差：垂直距离被大大高估了，特别是从顶部。第二个发现表明，从高处俯视时对距离和体型的高估与特质和国家层面的恐高症有关，这表明高估身高可能在一定程度上是由于恐惧。
Previous research on perceiving spatial layout has found that people often exhibit normative biases in their perception of the environment. For instance, slant is typically overestimated and distance is usually underestimated. Surprisingly, however, the perception of height has rarely been studied. The present experiments examined the perception of height when viewed from the top (e.g., looking down), or from the bottom (e.g., looking up). Multiple measures were adapted from previous studies of horizontal extents to assess the perception of height. Across all of the measures, a large, consistent bias was found: vertical distances were greatly overestimated, especially from the top. Secondary findings suggest that the overestimation of distance and size that occurs when looking down from a high place correlates with reports of trait- and state-level fear of heights, suggesting that height overestimation may be due, in part, to fear.
