The research was conducted by scientists from the University of Western Sydney, and the results were published in the journal Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences.
The experiment involved 302 adult Americans. The researchers measured their actual height, as well as their level of dissatisfaction with it, and compared it with the results of tests for envy, jealousy, and competition in same-sex interactions. It turned out that those who feel the difference between their desired and actual height experience envy and competition most acutely – and this feeling is noticeably stronger in men.
Men who are dissatisfied with their height are more likely to strive to surpass others, get angry at successful peers, and envy more attractive rivals. Women show more envy, but their competitiveness was more related to the feeling of "I want to be taller" than to their actual height. Moreover, even the simple desire to be taller predicted a high propensity for social competition.
p.s. I thought that Western Sydney should be somewhere in Australia, but they write that the research was conducted on Americans. Although this is not important.

В тихой однообразной жизни всегда так бывает: каждый отдельный день бесконечно долог, но месяцы и годы мчатся с непостижимой быстротой.
