A group of Polish scientists discovered that short men “may actually be evolutionarily connected” to what is known as “the dark one”, which refers to triad personality traits, associated with more confrontational behavior .
These traits include psychopathy (lack of empathy and antisocial behaviors), narcissism (egocentrism) and Machiavellianism (manipulation and indifference towards mortality).
“Our study provides the first assessment (to our knowledge) of how dark triad traits relate to height and height attitudes,” the researchers wrote in the
“We show that people who have a great number of traits of the dark triad are not they are less satisfied with their height, but this may be because they are actually shorter.
As they explain, this leads them to believe that the behavioral syndromes of the dark triad traits may be part of a set of psychological systems designed by natural selection to
allow people of shorter stature a form to continue competing in the great challenges of life.
The study explains that although shorter women “may use deception to appear more desirable or to gain protection and resources,” the scientists did not see the same link between dark triad personality traits and their height.
Small ones must be imposed in another way
They investigated the so-called Napoleon complex, named after the (supposedly) leader who was 1,54 that searched and l power through aggression and who was mocked for his height by British newspapers during the French revolution, and found out that the myth was based on truth.
They theorize that when a person is not physically formidable and does not have an intimidating presence, they have to assert themselves in other ways, becoming “psychologically formidable” instead. , said lead author Monika Kozlowska, of Poland’s Wroclaw University. other people perceive them as taller than they really are”, he assured.
Furthermore, he explains that shorter men with traits like psychopathy may use them to command respect, impose costs on others, and impress romantic partners.
