Abstract: The purpose of the study was to find relationship between digit finger ratio and selected psychological variables of Volleyball players. By applying simple random sampling a total number of 100 Volleyball players age ranging between (18-25) selected from Varanasi and nearby to act as a subject for the study. Keeping in mind about specific purpose of the study, the following variables has been selected: Digit finger ratio (Independent variables) Measured by using Vernier calliper (Fink et all, 2006) accurate to0.01mm. And by taken photo copy of right hand palm. Psychological variables (Dependent variables) Aggression constructed by Prof. Anand kr. Shrivastava and Prem Shankar shukla, and Achievement Motivation constructed by Dr. M.L. Kamlesh. In this study correlation design was used for achieving the objectives of the study. In the light of the findings of the present study, the hypothesis that there shall not be any significant impact of digit finger ratio on the psychological variables of Volleyball players was accepted in case of Achievement Motivation, whereas not accepted in the case of Aggression. The level of significance was set at 5%. Keyword: Digit finger Ratio, Aggression, Achievement motivation, Volleyball players. I. Introduction Elite sporting performance results from the combination of innumerable factors, which interact with one another in a poorly understood but complex manner to mould a talented athlete into a champion (Tucker & Collins, 2012). The Digit ratio is the ratio of the lengths of different digits or fingers typically measured from the midpoint of bottom crease where the finger joins the hand to the tip of the finger (Mayhew, Gillam, McDonald & Ebling, 2007). ). It has been suggested by some scientists that the ratio of two digits in particular, the 2nd (index finger) and 4th (ring finger), is affected by exposure to androgens e.g. testosterone while in the uterus and that this 2D:4D ratio can be considered a crude measure for prenatal androgen exposure, with lower 2D:4D ratios pointing to higher androgen exposure. Digit ratio has been shown to correlate with several psychological traits. Women with smaller digit ratios report higher, more masculinised scores on the Bam Sex Role Inventory (Csatho et al., 2003a). Men with smaller 2D:4D ratios are perceived as being more masculine and dominant by female observers (Neave et al., 2003). Procedure In this study the selection of subjects, Criterion Measures, collection of data and design. Selection Of Subjects By applying simple random sampling a total number of 100 Volleyball players age ranging between (18-25) selected from Varanasi and nearby to act as a subject for the study. Selection Of Variables Keeping in mind about specific purpose of the study, the following variables has been selected: 1-Digit finger ratio (Independent variables) 2-psychological variables (Dependent variables) -Aggression -Achievement Motivation Criterion Measures The criterion measures adopted for the study was as follows:  Aggression constructed by Prof. Anand kr. Srivastava and Prem Shankar shukla.  Achievement Motivation constructed by Dr. M.L. Kamlesh  Digit finger ratio, Measured by using Verniar calliper (Fink et all, 2006) accurate to0.01mm. And by taken photo copy of right hand palm.
