Sexual Orientation Moderates the Relationship Between Digit Ratios (A Proxy For Prenatal Testosterone Exposure) and Risk-Taking Propensity

Exposure to prenatal testosterone might influence consumer risk propensity. However, previous results on the relationship between digit ratios (a proxy for prenatal testosterone exposure) and risk-taking have been mixed. The results suggest that sexual orientation (declared by the participants) moderates that relationship, consequently future research should account for sexual orientation.
