Abstract

The aim is to test the validity of Manning’s theory by examining whether a lower 2D:4D correlates with higher risk taking. 402 participants from Australian National University participated in a within-subject experimental study and a survey. Results indicated males displaying higher risk taking behavior and lower 2D:4D ratios than females.
