Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When experiencing fear or anxiety, our emotional response can cause us to perceive things as more dangerous or threatening than they actually are. Therefore, when standing on a balcony and feeling afraid of heights, our estimates of the distance to the ground are likely to be larger than the actual distance, as we overestimate the potential danger.
