Recent studies in medical anthropology have revealed that the human body and disease symptoms constantly vary depending on the genetic and sociocultural structure. The physician’s personality traits and their variations due to the sociocultural structure are important for the practice of medicine. Prenatal sex hormones are associated with both personality traits and the length ratios (2D:4D) of the index and ring fingers of the hand. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between 2P: 4P ratio depending on sex hormones and positive-negative emotions in preclinical medical students. The height, weight, 2nd and 4th finger lengths of both hands and 2D:4D ratios of 493 students (199 males, 294 females) were determined. A questionnaire including the Positive-Negative Emotion Scale (PANAS) and the Five-Factor Personality Inventory Short Form (FFPI-S) with sociodemographic information was applied. The height, weight, body mass index values were significantly higher in men, and 2D:4D ratios were significantly higher in women (p<0.001). Negative correlation between the right hand 2D:4D ratio and Positive and Negative Emotion (r=-0.106, p=0.018; r=-0.087, p=0.052) and positive correlation between the FFPI-S (r=0.090, p=0.045) were determined. 2D:4D ratios of both hands positively correlated with the compatibility (r=0.126, p=0.005, r=0.091, p=0.043). Extraversion score was higher in 3rd grade students (p=0.006 and p=0.002). Positive personality traits and emotion scores were higher in boys and 3rd grade students. The awareness created by this study can help the physician to receive a better medical training compatible with their personality traits and to produce more effective treatment process in their expertise.
