In the recent post on self-esteem, a reader suggested that Asians and Hispanics have lower levels because they are shorter.
Using Add Health data, I calculated the correlation between height and self-esteem for males and females (samples sizes = 3,101 and 3,297). It is .05 and significant for guys and .01 and not signifiicant for girls. Trivial for males, non-existent for females.
