Chinese men, as a group, tend to be relatively short (compared to most other ethnicities represented in the United States). However, not all men follow this tendency; there are exceptions to the rule. Yao Ming is one such exception, as he stands 7 feet, 6 inches tall. Thus, regarding psychological variables (which may be less immediately obvious than height), it is important for clinical psychologists to be aware of both cultural norms and the possibility that a particular client may be an exception to those norms.
