In the Bath University study, there were 150 students of information technology and 119 students studying humanities. The degree of influence on these students of testosterone in the mother's body is proportional to the difference between the length of the index finger and the ring finger. The greater this length, the more the effect of hormones.
One can recognize computer majors directly thanks to the relative difference of the length of the above fingers. While these two-finger humanitarian research students are less disparate and directly related to their anxiety when using modern technologies, they even feel panic when they have to face these technologies. (This is called technophobia syndrome).
In addition, studies have shown that the lack of effectiveness of testosterone during the prenatal period causes all kinds of anxiety in later life.
According to the head of research, Mark Brosnan , the research results show that technological understanding has natural, innate grounds. Therefore, people who find it difficult to come into contact with technology should not consider themselves "losers or stupid " because it is not their fault.
