Abstract

Sex hormones have an effect on brain structures and so they have on human behavior. The 2D:4D in-dex is a non-invasive indicator of prenatal sex hormone exposure. Previous literature on its reliability indicated that the software analysis method is reliable, but, still, there is no consensus about which program should be used. The objectives of the present study are to analyze the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of two softwares used to measure the 2D:4D ratio, and to explore the measurements’ economy. Scans of the hands of 180 11 year-old participants were collected, and measurements were made by using the GIMP and AutoMetric programs. The results showed that although AutoMetric is a faster program, GIMP presented higher intra and interobserver reliability. To sum up, further research should be carried out on this subject, because few studies exist which analyze the differences among the available image analysis methods.
