“…The taller the kids were currently, the taller the parents wanted them to be in the future. Other studies conducted on adolescents in Korea showed that the preferred average height of children according to parents was 178-180 cm for males and 165-168 cm for females, and this demonstrated that parents' expectations for their children's height was consistently high 2 26) .…”

PurposeThis study investigated the relationship between height and psychopathology in community children with relatively short stature according to the parents' reports. Also, the matter of parental concern about child's height was explored.MethodsThe child behavior checklist (CBCL), the Brief Encounter Psychosocial Instrument (BEPSI), and the child-health questionnaire-parent form 50 (CHQ-PF50) were administered to 423 parents (from elementary and middle school children's) in Gangnam, South Korea. Subjects were divided into three groups; (1) relatively short (n=30), (2) average stature (n=131), (3) relatively tall (n=153). CBCL, BEPSI, and CHQ-PF50 scores were compared among three groups.ResultsThere were no significant differences in psychosocial burden associated with relatively short stature measured by Korean version of the BEPSI and Korean version of the CBCL scores among three groups. But general health perception score of relatively short was significantly lower than that of nonshort on the CHQ-PF50. Also, they were more used complementary medicines, milk and growth hormone compared to the nonshort. The parents' expected height of their children was 180.6±3.5 cm for boys and 166.7±3.5 cm for girls. This is respectively 90 percentile and 75-90 percentile for the Korean standard adult height.ConclusionOur study shows that in Korea, Parents tended to regard relatively short children as having health problems. Also, the parental expectation for their child's attainable height is unrealistically tall, mostly due to lack of correct medical information.

“…Previous studies showed that stress was higher in female students than in male students (Han & Cho, 2000; Kim et al, 1995; Kim et al, 2002; Lee & Park, 2000) and so was the frequency of snack consumption (Cho, 1993; Ha & Lee, 1995; Kim & Park, 2004; Lee et al, 1985; Park & Kim, 1995). …”

“…Although there are some reports on the associations of stress and eating behaviors in adolescents, few studies have observed the relationship between stress and snack consumption. Previous studies showed that stress was higher in female students than in male students ( Han & Cho, 2000 ; Kim et al, 1995 ; Kim et al, 2002 ; Lee & Park, 2000 ) and so was the frequency of snack consumption ( Cho, 1993 ; Ha & Lee, 1995 ; Kim & Park, 2004 ; Lee et al, 1985 ; Park & Kim, 1995 ).…”

Stress has been known to change dietary behaviors and food intakes in individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of stress level on the frequency and the amount of snack consumption. The high stress group (HS) showed significantly higher frequency of consumption for bread, chips, cookies, ramyeon, and frozen snacks (p<0.05) compared to low stress group (LS) with higher frequency of snack consumption (p<0.01), and increased intakes of energy, carbohydrates, and sodium from snacks (p<0.01) than LS. As the stress level became higher, the proportions of students with irregular meals, overeating, and night snacking increased (p<0.01). Also, 33.0% of the subjects answered that they consumed an increased amount of snacks when they were feeling stressed. Our results indicated that stress has negative influence on snack consumption in middle school girls.

“…As compared with females who are more concerned about their weight, previous studies have found that height dissatisfaction has been frequently reported by males (e.g., Chen et al, 2006;Chen & Jackson, 2009;Jackson & Chen, 2008a;Kim & Park, 2009;Lee et al, 2008;Park et al, 2003;Talbot & Mahlberg, 2021). For example, a recent investigation with 224 male undergraduates reported that 41.20% of them were not satisfied with their current height and 42.72% of them wished to be taller (Talbot & Mahlberg, 2021).…”

By recording event‐related potentials (ERPs) during a dot‐probe task, the present study examined the neural dynamics of attentional bias toward height‐related words among height dissatisfied males. Sixty male participants screened by Negative Physical Self Scale‐Stature Concerns subscale (NPS‐S) were assigned into a high height dissatisfaction (HHD) group and a low height dissatisfaction (LHD) group. The results showed that tall‐related versus neutral words elicited larger N2pc for both HHD and LHD groups, whereas short‐related versus neutral words elicited larger N2pc only for the HHD group. Additionally, an evident Pd was elicited by tall‐related words for the HHD group, but not for the LHD group. Taken together, these findings revealed attentional biases toward height‐related information for HHD individuals on a neural level. Specifically, HHD individuals showed an enhanced spatial attention oriented toward both tall‐related and short‐related words, and then, the allocated attention to the tall‐related words was terminated by an active suppression mechanism.
