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.
基于身高可作为判断地位、主导权和领导潜力的一种启发式线索这一观点，对两个假设进行了检验：（1）美国总统选举获胜者的身高与选举年份的社会、经济和政治威胁评估呈正相关。（2）无论选举年份的社会、经济和政治威胁评估程度如何，身高与胜利优势呈正相关。1824年至1992年的43次选举均支持了这两个假设。
