“…Successful political candidates in modern democracies tend to be physically dominant in terms of height (Ellis 1994; Stulp et al 2013) and more masculine in terms of their facial and vocal characteristics (Little et al 2007; Tigue et al 2012). The advantage of physical dominance in winning elections in modern nation states is at first glance irrational.…”

“…Leaders are often taller, stronger, or display more dominant behavior than their peers, whether in large-scale, democratic societies (Lord et al 1986; Stulp et al 2013) or small-scale societies such as the Xavante (Maybury-Lewis 1967) and Mekranoti of Brazil (Werner 1982), where warriorship was a traditional pathway to leadership. However, tall or physically strong leaders are not necessarily chosen for their physical dominance per se, particularly in small-scale, egalitarian societies where authoritarian behavior leads to censure, ostracism, or even execution (Boehm 1999).…”

Pressures for male tallness have been persistent over at least the last century, with height-related economic and social advantages for men evident in a study from 1915 (28).…”

“…Accordingly, height impacts ratings of leader behavior. Indeed, Stulp, Buunk, Verhulst, and Pollet (2013) report that taller U.S. presidents are consistently judged as better leaders with better communication skills and higher performance than their shorter counterparts. Therefore, it seems plausible that height may function as a retrieval cue that triggers the accessibility of the leader prototype, which inflates ratings of behaviors typically associated with the word "leader.…”
