inb4 "water is wet"
Yes it's obvious that height improves your life. But this study is interesting because it confirms that this phenomenon is universal, or at the very least that it's consistently found in many different nations across the globe. It's a value that is seen as important to all humans regardless of culture and location.
Objectives
To evaluate the effect of height on life satisfaction.
Methods
We use data from a recent multi‐country survey that was conducted in 27 nations.
Results
Our main finding is that height does have a strong positive effect on life satisfaction. These findings remain positive and significant when we use a comprehensive set of well‐known covariates of life‐satisfaction at both the individual and country levels. These findings also remain robust to alternative statistical specifications.
Conclusions
From a theoretical standpoint, our findings suggest that height is important in explaining life‐satisfaction independent of other well‐known determinants. From a methodological standpoint, the findings of this study highlight the need to explicitly control for the effect of heights in studies on subjective well‐being, happiness, and life‐satisfaction.
