A Correlation between Handedness and Aggression: Are Left-Handed People More Aggressive than Right-Handed

Neil Slocum

This study will be conducted in Northeastern Pennsylvania at the University of Scranton.  The study’s intention is to show a correlation between handedness and aggression.  The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not left-handed individuals are more likely to be aggressive than right-handed individuals.  Students will be given questionnaires dealing with both handedness (using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory), as well as aggression (using the Aggression Questionnaire).  From responses to these two questionnaires, researchers will determine the possibility of a correlation.  If a correlation is shown between aggression and handedness it will then be determined whether left-handed individuals are more aggressive than right-handed individuals.
