Zusammenfassung

Die Ermittlung der Händigkeit ist aufgrund ihrer unterschiedlichen Definitionen und ihrer Multidimensionalität eine große Herausforderung für Forscher und Praktiker. Die zahlreichen Studien zur Händigkeit zeigen fast ebenso zahlreiche Verfahren zur Austestung derselben. Viele begrenzen Händigkeit auf eine Dimension, meist Handpräferenz, und nutzen entweder Selbsteinschätzungs- oder Fremdeinschätzungsverfahren. Einige setzen Beobachtung bei durchgeführten Handlungen ein, und wenige ermitteln Handpräferenz und Handleistung. Einige Forscher befassen sich mit dem Ausprägungsgrad und berücksichtigen die Beständigkeit der Handlungen, wenige unterscheiden zwischen unimanuellen und bimanuellen Aktionen oder zwischen Handpräferenz und dem Überkreuzen der Körpermitte. Zuletzt gibt es auch eine große Vielfalt an Klassifikationsansätzen, mit denen eine Links- oder Rechtshändigkeit bestimmt wird. In diesem Kapitel setzen wir uns mit diesen Herausforderungen der Händigkeitsermittlung auseinander.

Unsere Hauptaufgabe ist nicht, zu erkennen, was unklar in weiter Entfernung liegt, sondern zu tun, was klar vor uns liegt. (Thomas Carlyle)

Zwei Dinge sind zu unserer Arbeit nötig: Unermüdliche Ausdauer und die Bereitschaft, etwas, in das man viel Zeit und Arbeit gesteckt hat, wieder wegzuwerfen. (Albert Einstein)

Notes

  1. 1.

    Der englische Originaltext lautet: „Empirical evidence is provided which shows that handedness questionnaires should: (a) comprise items that cover skilled and unskilled activities; (b) be sufficiently long to capture a ‘mass effect’ of variability in lateral preferences over a range of items; and (c) allow graded answer options for individual items rather than forced left/right choices.“ (Peters, 1998, S. 77)
