Left-handedness as a function of sex, maternal versus paternal inheritance, and report bias.

Behavior genetics - 1 Mar 1999

Annett M

Abstract excerpt

The right-shift (RS) theory suggests that sex differences for handedness are due to the displacement of a chance distribution of asymmetry farther to the right in females than males by about 20%. An analysis of studies in the literature shows that when handedness is assessed by self-report, paired samples of males and females differ for incidence of left-handedness as predicted, but for parents assessed by...
