This study examines the role of height in the process of mate selection in two Italian populations at the turn of the twentieth century, Alghero, in the province of Sassari, and Treppo Carnico, in the province of Udine. Based on a linkage between military registers and marriage certificates, this study reveals a negative selection of short men on marriage and a differential effect of tallness by population in the process of mate choice. These findings emerge once SES is taken into account in the risk models of marriage.
本研究考察了在 20 世纪之交的两个意大利人群体中,阿尔盖罗(撒丁岛省)和特雷波卡尼科(乌迪内省),身高在择偶过程中的作用。本研究通过将兵役登记册和结婚证书联系起来,揭示了矮个男性在婚姻中受到负面选择,以及在择偶过程中身高的差异效应因人群而异。这些发现是在 SES 被纳入婚姻风险模型后出现的。
