Abstract
The impact of height on assessments of female job applicants' manageri al abilities was examined in a study in which 44 subjects assessed 78 subordinates in natural settings. On global evaluations, tall women we re regarded, as expected, as better managers than shorter women. On tr ait-type assessments, only one difference was found between the rating s of tall and short applicants.
