  • Title: Handedness in a Chinese population: biological, social, and pathological factors.
    Author: Teng EL, Lee PH, Yang KS, Chang PC.
    Journal: Science; 1976 Sep 17; 193(4258):1148-50. PubMed ID: 986686.
    Abstract:
    A questionnaire survey of 4143 Chinese was conducted. Social pressure for right-handed writing and eating was effective on these two target skills but showed little indirect influence on hand use in other activities. Neither primiparous birth nor birth to older mothers affected handedness. Twinning, however, seemed to be associated with both decreased right-handedness and lower intelligence.
