Height is a marker of social status and authority. Therefore we tested the effect of manipulating height, as a proxy for social rank, on paranoia

I've observed myself. Low status, poor, sexless menial workers are almost always short and small framed, while rich, tall guys with women are always tall.

Looks can halo everything about a person. That's why people with higher SMV often succeed more in every area of life

It would be a lot easier to succeed if I had the validation and positive social experiences that attractive people get to motivate me

This study investigates the relationship between height, social rank, and paranoia using virtual reality (VR). Researchers manipulated participants' height within a VR simulation of a train ride to examine its effect on paranoia and social comparison. Here's a summary of the key aspects:


1. Objective:

• To determine if reducing a person's height in a social situation leads to increased paranoia due to perceptions of lower social rank.
• To test whether changes in social comparison mediate the relationship between height and paranoia.

2. Methods:

• Participants: 60 adult females with paranoid thinking (but no history of severe mental illness) were recruited.
• Procedure: Participants experienced two VR train rides: one at their normal height and one with their height reduced by 25 cm. The order of these conditions was randomized.
• Virtual Reality Environment: An immersive VR environment simulated a London underground train station and train journey, populated with 23 virtual avatars.
• Assessments:
  • Paranoid Thoughts Scale Part B (GPTS-B):Measured persecutory ideation over the past month.
  • State Social Paranoia Scale (SSPS):Assessed paranoia within the VR environment.
  • Social Comparison Scale: Measured participants' views of themselves in relation to the virtual characters.
• Manipulation: Height was manipulated in VR by reducing the participant's height by 25 cm in the lowered height condition.
• Analysis: Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of height manipulation on social comparison and paranoia, and to test the mediation effect of social comparison.

3. Key Findings:

• Lowered Height Increased Paranoia: Reducing a person's height resulted in more negative views of the self in comparison with other people and increased levels of paranoia.
• Social Comparison as a Mediator: The increase in paranoia was fully mediated by changes in social comparison.
• Subjective Experiences: Participants' comments indicated feelings of vulnerability, intimidation, and increased staring from other characters when their height was lowered (even when they didn't consciously notice the height difference).

4. Conclusion:

• The study provides evidence that reducing height in a social situation can increase paranoia.
• Negative social comparison plays a causal role in mistrust and paranoid thinking.

if they did the same study on facial attractiveness contributing to status im sure they will find the same results
