Digit ratio (2D:4D) and handedness: A meta-analysis of the available literature
TLDR
A meta-analysis of correlations between handedness and digit ratio (2D:4D), a putative marker of prenatal testosterone, results do not confirm any theory linking prenatal androgens with handedness, so it is speculated they instead reflect the mechanical action of writing causing subtle changes in the musculature and/or fat pads of the fingers.

A comparison of self-measured and researcher-measured digit ratio (2D:4D)
TLDR
Reliability and repeatability of self-measured 2D:4D were high, as were correlations with researcher-measurements, though self-Measured D[R-L] is unreliable.

Facing up to a new way of coping: development and psychometric evaluation of a scale to measure engagement in coping strategies facilitated by Facebook
The increasing prominence of social networking site (SNS) use has led to the identification that people may use such sites to cope with stress. However, to date, no measure has been developed to…
Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Null Hypothesis Significance Testing
TLDR
This article addresses the NHST debate from the perspective of scientific inquiry and inference, and concludes that NHST procedures remain the only (and suitable) option.

TLDR
The BBC Internet Study of sex differences in which finger lengths were self‐measured shows sexual dimorphism, ethnic differences and higherDimorphism of right 2D:4D than left, thereby indicating that 2D-4D does measure real between‐participant variation.

TLDR
The 2D:4D digit ratio may be a valid, though weak, predictor of selective sex-dependent traits that are sensitive to testosterone.

Photocopies Yield Lower Digit Ratios (2D:4D) Than Direct Finger Measurements
TLDR
Differences in digit ratios obtained from photocopies and direct measurements, and these differences arise from length differences recorded from the different protocols, should not be combined within one study nor should they be used together in comparative studies.
