The sample is described demographically in Table 2. It had a roughly equal sex ratio, a narrow age range (as expected in a college population) and was predominately of European descent. Genotype and allele frequencies are given for DRD2 TaqI A and DRD4 48-bp VNTR in Supplementary File S3. Genotype frequencies were comparable to other samples of mixed populations with predominately European descent. Both loci were in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (DRD2, Fisher's Exact test p = 1.0; DRD4 VNTR, Markov Chain Algorithm p = 0.38). Descriptive statistics of each dependent variable are given in Table 3. As can be seen in Table 1, where the correlations between continuous dependent variables are given, with the exception of AgeSex (age at first sex), Kids (desired age at first child) and DDT, the correlations between scales are all positive, frequently significant, and generally high. Correlations among each gender separated can be found in Supplementary File S4.
