Abstract
Previous studies have shown that higher heights can bring greater happiness for human being. Although most scholars agree that height will affect people's happiness through material factors such as higher income and a higher success rate in the mate selection market. Not all scholars believe that the influence of height on happiness can be explained by these material factors. This paper aims to study whether height will have a positive impact on happiness for the elderly when relevant material factors are diluted. The author uses CGSS data in 2017 to establish an OLS regression model and comes to the conclusion that height has a positive impact on the happiness of the elderly, and finds that this impact is more significant for men than for women. The author excluded the possibility that this effect was caused by the accumulation of material in the past by adding interactive regression to the model. At the end of the article, the author looks forward to further clarifying the mechanism behind this influence.
