Özet

In this study, the relationship between 2D: 4D finger ratio and aggression level in university students was investigated. "Aggression Inventory" was administered on a total of 354 university students- 119 men and 235 women-studying in different departments and their finger length measurements were taken. Destructive, passive and total aggression values were significant in terms of gender (p<0,05). The differences between Left 2D:4D and Right 2D:4D values of men and women were not found to be significant (p>0,05). No statistically significant difference was found between destructive aggression, passive aggression and total aggression values in terms of the students' departments (p>0,05). Statistically significant association was found in Left 2D:4D value in terms of the students' departments (p<0,05). When the Left 2D:4D values were examined, the students in the department of mathematics were found to have higher values than the students of other departments. No statistically significant difference was found between aggression inventory, the subscales and finger length rates (p>0,05). Although it was found that there were no associations between the aggression levels and finger length rates of university students studying in different departments, it is recommended to conduct the study with different groups and a great number of participants as the sample group.
