title: Handedness of handedness researchers.
abstract: This study tested the hypothesis that laterality and handedness researchers are more likely than other researchers to be left-handed. A questionnaire assessing hand preference was sent to authors of articles which either dealt with handedness (N = 50) or other aspects of laterality (N = 100) or did not concern laterality (N = 50). The proportion of left-handers was highest in the handedness group (12.9%) and lowest in the non-laterality group (5.0%), but this difference did not reach significance.
