Abstract
In a recent paper, Sapienza et al. (1) assessed correlations of salivary concentration of testosterone and two markers of prenatal exposure to testosterone with performance on a game assessing financial risk aversion and actual career choices. The authors concluded that “Gender differences in financial risk aversion and career choices are affected by testosterone,” “testosterone has both organizational and activational effects on financial risk aversion in men and women and that these effects influence important career choices”, and “Individuals high in testosterone and low in risk aversion were more likely to choose risky careers in finance.” However, the reported study does not present evidence to support any of these conclusions.
