Direct Versus Indirect Measurement of Digit Ratio (2D:4D): A Critical Review of the Literature and New Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Digit ratio (2D:4D: the relative lengths of the second and fourth digits) is widely used as a correlate of prenatal sex steroids. There are two common methods of measuring 2D:4D, the direct method and the indirect method.
