Question label:

Consent to measure 2D:4D ratio

Question text:

Next, I would like to measure the length of your index and ring fingers. These measures have been shown to indicate roughly the degree of hormones you were exposed to when your mother was pregnant with you. Having these measures will be very useful to better understand the links between social background, physical development and a range of social and personality outcomes. Is it okay if I obtain these measurements?

Question universe:

if ff_ivlolw 1 (Adult not interviewed at the previous wave (including rising 16s and the IP7 refreshment sample))
