Relationship between handedness and thinking styles in female and male students

Relationship between handedness and thinking styles in female and male students was evaluated. Two hundred university students were selected. The Edinburgh handedness inventory and Sternberg-Wagner thinking styles inventory were used. Significant relationship was found between handedness and legislative, judicial, executive, hierarchical, monarchic, oligarchic, global, local, liberal, and conservative thinking styles. Left-handed participants used legislative, judicial, and hierarchical thinking styles more frequently. Right-handed individuals used executive and local thinking styles more. There is a relationship between handedness and thinking styles. The differences can be attributed to genetic characteristics, family, culture, and gender.
