Hemisphericity style, sex, and torque: an exploratory study.
A sample of 139 male and 218 female college students were given the Preference Questionnaire and a torque test to assess (a) whether subjects who prefer a left hemisphericity style would show a higher incidence of torque than those who prefer a right hemisphericity style and (b) whether men would yield a higher incidence of torque than women. The first hypothesis received limited support. Men with a left hemisphericity style yielded a higher incidence of torque than men with a right style, however, the difference was only marginally significant.
