| 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. |
