Towards a Conceptualization of Hand Preference.
Beukelaar, L. J.; Kroonenberg, P. M.
British Journal of Psychology, v74 n1 p33-45 Feb 1983
Investigated hand preference using a questionnaire. Respondents were divided into: right-handers (N=523), left-handers (N=412), and impossible to classify (N=42). Items were subjected to a cluster analysis. Results show a clear grouping of items for left-handers and a vaguely similar grouping for right-handers, characterized by the muscle groups and joints involved. (Author/JAC)
