目前的研究验证了这一假设,即手指比例与名人崇拜有关,特别是在青少年中。我们的样本包括45名男性和61名女性参与者,年龄12-14岁(M = 13.20,SD = 0.71)。我们测量了参与者右手的手指比率,并使用修订后的名人态度量表(CAS)的23个项目来探讨参与者从事名人崇拜的程度。男性参与者的平均手指比为0.95(SD = 0.04),女性参与者为0.97(SD = 0.05)。男性受试者的平均CAS评分为50.06(SD = 20.63),女性受试者为64.49(SD = 18.04)。整个样本的手指比与CAS评分呈正相关(r = 0.29,p < 0.005)。然而,女性参与者的手指比率与CAS评分呈正相关(r = 0.51,p < 0.001),而男性参与者则不相关(r = 0.13,p = 0.394)。我们的研究发现,女性的2D:4D比率与名人崇拜之间存在显著的正相关关系,但男性则不然,这表明手指比率较低的女性不太可能崇拜名人。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The current study tested the hypothesis that digit ratios would be associated with celebrity worship, especially among adolescents. Our sample consisted of 45 male and 61 female participants aged 12-14 years (M = 13.20, SD = 0.71). We measured the digit ratios on the participants' right hands and used the 23 items of the revised Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS) to explore the degree to which participants engaged in celebrity worship. The average digit ratio was 0.95 (SD = 0.04) among male participants and 0.97 (SD = 0.05) among female participants. The mean CAS scores were 50.06 (SD = 20.63) for male participants and 64.49 (SD = 18.04) for female participants. The digit ratios for the entire sample were positively correlated with CAS scores (r = 0.29, p < 0.005). However, the digit ratios were positively correlated with CAS scores among female (r = 0.51, p < 0.001) but not male (r = 0.13, p = .394) participants. Our research found evidence of a significant positive correlation between 2D:4D ratios and celebrity worship in females but not in males, which indicated that females with lower digit ratios were less likely to worship celebrities.
