Abstract
Fisher reported obtaining a positive relationship in males between overestimation of self height and both power aspirations and commitment to the idea of male superiority. Possible explanations for this result are considered. A methodological problem involved in this type of research is discussed, and some issues are mentioned on which further research is needed.Keywords
