Index finger

Researchers from the University of Bath claims that exposure to testosterone in the womb when the baby's brain development and determine affect its ability to understand technology. According to the study chairman, Mark Brosnan, low levels of exposure to testosterone in the womb is associated with anxiety when confronted with new technology such as computers.

The level of exposure that can be measured by comparing the length of ring finger and index finger. The longer the differencea, the higher the level of exposure to testosterone.

Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. Testosterone is the main producer in the male testes and ovaries (ovaries) in females, although small amounts of this hormone is also produced by the adrenal glands. This hormone is the primary male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. Both the males and females, testosterone plays an important role for health. Functions include increased libido, energy, immune function, and protection against osteoporosis.

To get that conclusion, the researchers analyzed the fingers of 150 students majoring in computer. Found, there is a link between the value of these students with different length of their ring finger and index finger.

For more convincing results, the researchers also monitored the finger as many as 119 students with majors without a computerr. Found, the average ring finger shorter than their index finger. It was to connect with behavior those who feel more anxious when confronted with technology.

Therefore, the researchers also concluded that exposure to low levels of testosterone in the fetus a person associated with the level of anxiety, especially when using technology
