The Social Significance of Short Stature: A Study of the Problems of Dwarfs and Midgets
The Social Significance of Short Stature draws on the social, psychological, and physical aspects of a uniquely stigmatized group of persons who share the rare and unusual quality of being extremely diminutive in size. In a world of average-sized persons where the concept of “bigger is better” kind of attitude, these people are stigmatized from birth just because of their short stature. The difficulties and modes of adjustment these people face on a day-to-day basis in terms of social interaction, employment opportunities, and simple companionship are often filled with uncertainty and strain. This work suggests that the attitudes of potential employers, school acquaintances, work mates, and the general public need to be more accepting and compassionate for a group of people who are labelled deviant and shunned not for something they may have done but for something they have no choice in being.
