Body opening symptoms and right-left sets.

S Fisher, R P Greenberg

    The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
    |July 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Spatial perception asymmetries, particularly leftward bias, are linked to body opening symptoms. This study explores the connection between perceptual biases and physiological symptoms in both males and females.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Human Physiology

    Background:

    • Previous research indicated a link between stomach symptom frequency and up-down spatial perception asymmetry.
    • This suggests spatial perception biases may reflect underlying attitudes with physiological consequences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To test the generalizability of spatial asymmetry-symptom relationships.
    • To investigate the correlation between right-left perceptual asymmetries and various bodily symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Examined the correlation between right-left perceptual asymmetries and a range of physical symptoms.
    • Data collected from both male and female participants.

    Main Results:

    • A significant correlation was found between symptoms related to body openings and a leftward perceptual bias.
    • This correlation was observed in both sexes, but was more pronounced in males.
    • A proposed theory explaining this relationship was supported by the data.

    Conclusions:

    • Right-left perceptual asymmetries, specifically a left bias, are associated with symptoms involving body openings.
    • The findings support the hypothesis that spatial perception reflects physiological states and symptom manifestation.
