Abstract

We document the descriptive statistics and detailed regression outputs for educational attainment and measured 2D:4D ratios, based on the RLMS data (20th round, conducted in 2011–2012). Regression analysis is conducted using STATA 13, gologit2 which is a special code for the generalized ordered logit regression in STATA environment. We provide graphs of differences in means of 2D:4D ratios by educational attainment. Information about the distribution of self-identified nationalities and fields of university degrees of respondents is presented.

Keywords: RLMS, Descriptive statics, Generalized ordered logit

Value of the data.

  • Descriptive statistics of national self-identities, major fields, educational attainment and fingers’ 2D:4D measurements are helpful in the case of analyzing possible associations between education and 2D:4D.

  • Detailed generalized ordered logit regressions’ outputs are helpful in understanding of the general patterns of 2D:4D associations at different levels of education obtained. Inclusion of classical predictors (education of parents) is helpful in foreseeing their correlations with different levels of educational attainment in the studied samples.

  • Graphs of means are helpful in comparison of differences between averaged 2D:4D of individuals with university degree and averaged 2D:4D of individuals who completed lower levels of education.

1. Experimental design, materials and methods

Measurements were taken by a special team of 2 trained assistants, while other information was taken from the RLMS survey which contains questions regarding an individual׳s socioeconomic characteristics and family background [1]. The data were anonymized before being provided to the authors for statistical analysis. The finger measurements were taken using electronic calipers. Actual measurements were made from the palmar digital crease to the fingertip of the index and ring fingers. Then measurements were rounded to the nearest millimeter.
