    Summary

    Handedness distribution is influenced by item selection, familial sinistrality, and age. The study found no significant effect of sex on handedness in a large population sample.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Human Genetics
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Hand preference is a complex trait with various influencing factors.
    • Previous studies on handedness have utilized different item selections for assessment.
    • Understanding handedness distribution is crucial for neurological and psychological research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of item selection on handedness distribution.
    • To examine the influence of age, sex, and familial sinistrality on handedness.
    • To compare handedness distributions based on original versus selected items.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected data on hand preference, age, sex, and familial sinistrality from 1694 subjects.
    • Performed item analysis to refine the hand preference assessment tool.
    • Compared handedness distributions using original and selected item sets.

    Main Results:

    • Handedness distribution varied significantly based on the selected items.
    • Familial sinistrality and age were found to influence handedness.
    • No statistically significant effect of sex on handedness distribution was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Item selection is a critical factor affecting handedness distribution.
    • Age and familial sinistrality are important covariates in handedness research.
    • The study highlights the need for standardized and validated handedness assessment tools.
