The Nonconscious Nature of Power: Cues and Consequences (2010, background): “Taller people tend to earn more money, have higher-status jobs, and win more presidential elections (Judge & Cable, 2004), but vertical position can also serve as a nonconscious power cue: The higher a target is, the more powerful it is perceived to be, even when its vertical position is clearly…”
The effect of bias on the advancement of working mothers: Disentangling legitimate concerns from inaccurate stereotypes as predictors of advancement in academe (2008, background): “For example, researchers have studied proactive personality (Seibert et al., 1999), physical height (Judge & Cable, 2004), general mental ability (Judge et al., 1999), and mentoring experiences (Dreher & Ash, 1990) as predictors of advancement without fully integrating other potential determinants.”
Control over the AssoCiAtion of Power And size (2009, background): “Bodily size correlates to a certain degree objectively with power and social status precisely because power is more often attributed and given to taller individuals (for an overview, see Judge & Cable, 2004).”
The Abercrombie & Fitch Effect: The Impact of Physical Dominance on Male Customers' Status-Signaling Consumption (2018, background): “…which is a bodilymarker of physical dominance (Hill et al. 2013) and a heuristic for status (Buunk et al. 2008), has a stronger positive correlation with income in social occupations such as sales and management compared with other, less interaction-oriented occupations (Judge and Cable 2004).”
The Proteus Effect (2009, background): “Research has also shown that physical height is positively correlated with self-esteem and performance, and that this in turn is positively correlated with workplace success (Judge & Cable, 2004).”
Employability and Career Success: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Reality (2013, background): “For example, Judge and Cable (2004) report, in a meta-analysis of four samples (N = 8590), a correlation of .26 between employee height and income.”
The height leadership advantage in men and women: Testing evolutionary psychology predictions about the perceptions of tall leaders (2013, background): “Several individual studies have demonstrated the effect for males but not females (Deck, 1968; Frieze, Olson, & Good, 1990; Gawley et al., 2009), though a meta-analysis indicated an overall relationship between height and income for females (Judge & Cable, 2004).”
Goal striving, idiosyncratic deals, and job behavior (2016, neutral): “37, 41–60 (2016) DOI: 10.1002/job one’s achievement goals (Judge & Cable, 2004; Judge, Kammeyer-Mueller, & Bretz, 2004).”
Comparing a computer agent with a humanoid robot (2007, background): “For instance, tall people earn more money than short people [8].”
Vulnerable Decision Points for Disproportionate Office Discipline Referrals: Comparisons of Discipline for African American and White Elementary School Students (2016, background): “Logistic regressions are particularly useful because the results allow the calculation of odds ratios, a form of effect size, from the raw parameter estimates (Judge & Cable, 2004).”
Conditional mate preferences: Factors influencing preferences for height (2008, background): “Height may be a particularly useful cue of access to resources and socioeconomic status during development (Cassidy, 1991; Judge & Cable, 2004 ).”
Tall claims?: Sense and nonsense about the importance of height of US presidents (2013, background): “This is in line with findings on the relationship between height and measures of social status: both male and female height are positively related to measures of social status (Judge & Cable, 2004), but the magnitude of the relationship is significantly stronger for men than for women.”
When managers become leaders: The role of manager network centralities, social power, and followers' perception of leadership (2017, background): “At L2, we controlled for manager’s age, education, and sex (male = 1, female = 2), as managers’ demographic factors have been found to be significantly related to subordinates’ perceptions of leadership (Howard & Bray, 1988; Judge & Cable, 2004).”
Interpersonal Power (2015, background): “Also, those with a right “look” gain power (i.e., emerge as leaders in positions of legitimate power) more easily (Antonakis & Dalgas, 2009; Todorov, Mandisodza, Goren, & Hall, 2005), as do taller individuals (Judge & Cable, 2004).”
