Abstract

We examine the relationship between high-school students’ height and their self-reported school satisfaction. This relationship is explored on the basis of a survey conducted in 2008 among some 2200 Catalan (Spanish) students. We find a negative association between height and school satisfaction: an association apparently correlated with the students’ maturity, which in turn influences the degree of their disenchantment with the educational system. A 10cm increase in height decreased the probability of falling into the “very satisfied” category by 9.8%.
