    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • The relationship between alexithymia and handedness is underexplored in scientific literature.
    • Existing research shows variable trends between alexithymia and individual characteristics based on assessment methods and populations.
    • Potential links between alexithymia and males, and left-handedness and males, warrant further investigation into alexithymia and handedness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the connection between alexithymia and handedness.
    • To investigate the incidence of alexithymia in relation to handedness in a pilot study.

    Main Methods:

    • A pilot study was conducted with 100 participants.
    • Data was collected to assess alexithymia and handedness.

    Main Results:

    • The study indicated a higher incidence of alexithymia among individuals who are not right-handed.
    • Preliminary findings suggest a potential association between non-right-handedness and alexithymia.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest a possible link between alexithymia and non-right-handedness.
    • The study discusses the potential influence of left hemisphere development on the occurrence of alexithymia.
    • Further research is recommended to confirm these findings and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
