University Professors' Self-Descriptions of Left-Right Confusability: Sex and Handedness Differences

Abstract

In a group of 364 university faculty members, frequency of self-reported confusion in left-right orientation was related to sex and handedness: among women, reports were statistically more common among left-handers than right-handers; among men, no relationship to handedness was evident. Over-all, women reported experiencing confusion more often than men did.
