Abstract

Handgrip strength (HGS) is a sexually dimorphic trait indicative of testosterone levels. We investigated whether HGS was related to measures of traits associated with masculinity (dominance and relationship satisfaction) in first time fathers. Results showed no correlation between HGS, dominance and relationship satisfaction with partner.
