Left-handedness is linked to increased delinquency in males, but not significantly in females. This study explored handedness and criminal behavior in college students.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Criminology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Previous research indicates a correlation between left-handedness and delinquency.
  • Understanding the relationship between neurological factors and criminal behavior is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between various measures of handedness and self-reported delinquency.
  • To examine gender differences in the relationship between sidedness preferences and criminal behavior.

Main Methods:

  • A self-report measure of delinquency and crime was administered to 130 male and 213 female college students.
  • Participants also completed a scale assessing sidedness preferences (e.g., handedness).

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Left-handedness showed a positive association with several forms of delinquency and criminality among males.
  • Other measures of sidedness did not significantly correlate with delinquency in males.
  • Sidedness was less systematically related to delinquency in females compared to males.

    • Conclusions:

    • Handedness, particularly left-handedness, appears to be a relevant factor in male delinquency.
    • The relationship between handedness and delinquency is gender-specific, with a weaker link observed in females.
