Hand preference, susceptibility to motion sickness, and differential vulnerability to psychiatric admission.
Nonright-handers (n = 192) were more common within an inpatient psychiatric population of 792 than in a control nonpatient population of 559. Vulnerability of nonright-handers to admission appears to be associated with an intermediate extent of susceptibility to motion sickness.
