| Lefties are more likely to be angry |
左撇子更易發(fā)怒 |
| Life holds many frustrations for left-handed people -- from the everyday items designed for right-handers to folklore saying they are in league with the devil. So perhaps it is the result of dealing with such adversity that, according to researchers, they are angrier than the average person, the Daily Mail reported. Researchers found that among lefties, the two hemispheres of the brain communicate more with each other so have more interaction with the parts that produce negative emotions. Many of the world's leaders and stars are left-handed, with some known for being hot-tempered. One famously grumpy leftie is tennis legend John McEnroe. Current world leaders who are left-handed include Barack Obama and David Cameron. |
據英國《每日郵報》報道，左撇子們在生活中總是遇到很多不便，比如很多日用品都是為習慣用右手的人設計的，甚至還有典故稱左撇子與惡魔是一伙的。研究發(fā)現，也許正是因為總是遭遇這樣的窘境，左撇子比常人更易動怒。研究人員發(fā)現，左撇子的兩個大腦半球之間的交流較常人更加頻繁，對能產生負面情緒的部分影響更大。世界上有許多領導人和明星都是左撇子，有些確以脾氣火爆聞名，網球界傳奇人物約翰·麥肯羅便是其中一例。另外，現任的領導人中，美國總統(tǒng)巴拉克·奧巴馬和英國首相大衛(wèi)·卡梅倫都是左撇子。
