| Lefties are more likely to be angry |
左撇子更易发怒 |
| 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. |
据英国《每日邮报》报道，左撇子们在生活中总是遇到很多不便，比如很多日用品都是为习惯用右手的人设计的，甚至还有典故称左撇子与恶魔是一伙的。研究发现，也许正是因为总是遭遇这样的窘境，左撇子比常人更易动怒。研究人员发现，左撇子的两个大脑半球之间的交流较常人更加频繁，对能产生负面情绪的部分影响更大。世界上有许多领导人和明星都是左撇子，有些确以脾气火爆闻名，网球界传奇人物约翰·麦肯罗便是其中一例。另外，现任的领导人中，美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马和英国首相大卫·卡梅伦都是左撇子。
