Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
The elevated global trend of terrorism needs to be smothered at childhood. Scientists are investigating for correlation between aggressiveness, pre-social personality traits, second digit & fourth digit ratio and prenatal androgen activity. Methods & Results: 144 children of 9-12 years are chosen randomly including 48 girls (9-11years). These samples were properly (age-wise) classified and grouped to assess all anthropometric and cognitive data. Verbal aggression and hostility of senior boys are found significantly correlated with their palm length and fourth digit length (4D); similarly for junior boys, second digit length (2D) and Palm height are found significantly correlated with height & physical aggression. Statistical analysis showed that Palm thickness, 2D & 4D length and 2D-4D ratio are significantly higher in pre pubertal girls than boys. Conclusion & Interpretation: Early age show correlations in different anthropometric and cognitive parameters with their growing years in boys, but not in girls of similar primary age. Still girls at the same primary age contain higher values of same anthropometric dimensions than boys, but prevalence of cruelty is much vigorous in boys than that of girls. This ill fate of humanity needed to be treated at early age with love, care, affection and hospitality to come out with terror free nation.
