London, Nov 4 : Lefties not only find it difficult dealing with a world designed for right-handers, but are also prone to inhibition and anxiety, a new research suggests.
According to Lynn Wright, a behavioural psychologist at the University of Abertay Dundee, UK, who led the study, when left-handers start doing something, they tend to dither.
“Right-handers tend to jump in a bit,” New Scientist quoted the expert, as saying.
The research team came to the conclusion, after conducting tests of behavioural inhibition. They found 46 left-handed men and women scored higher than 66 right-handers. Women, too, tended to rack up higher scores on the tests of reticence.
