Women made shorter in a virtual reality situation compared themselves more negatively to others and reported more paranoid feelings. Previous research has shown that tall people enjoy all kinds of advantages: They reach higher education levels, get better jobs, earn more, and just generally feel better about their lives. Riding the virtual train while smaller made people evaluate themselves more negatively compared with others, and they had greater levels of paranoia as well. When made to feel smaller, we feel more vulnerable, and thus expect people to be out to get us more.
