Self-reported handedness is a crude but viable measurement method. Female right-handers demonstrated the highest agreement between self-reporting and tested hand preference in a student sample.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Human Biology

Background:

  • Hand preference is a fundamental aspect of human behavior.
  • Accurate assessment of handedness is crucial for various research fields.
  • Previous methods for assessing handedness have varied in reliability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare self-reported handedness with directly tested hand preference.
  • To evaluate the validity of a simple self-report question for handedness.
  • To identify demographic factors influencing the agreement between self-reported and tested handedness.

Main Methods:

  • A 10-item battery was used to directly test hand preference.
  • 1223 students participated in the study.
  • Handedness was assessed through both self-report and objective testing.

Main Results:

  • Self-reported handedness was found to be a crude but feasible measurement.
  • The agreement between self-reported and tested handedness varied across participants.
  • Female right-handers exhibited the strongest concordance between self-reported and tested hand preference.

Conclusions:

  • Simple self-report measures can offer a preliminary assessment of handedness.
  • Further refinement of self-report tools may improve accuracy.
  • Understanding demographic influences, like sex, is important for interpreting handedness data.
