- W247007082 abstract "The purpose of this research was to explore the experiences of left-handed adults. Four semi-structured interviews were conducted with left-handed adults (2 men and 2 women) about their experiences. After transcribing the data, interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), which is a qualitative approach, was utilized to analyze the data. The analysis highlighted some major themes which were organized to make a model of life experiences of left-handers. The highlighted themes included Left-handers' Development: Interplay of Heredity Basis and Environmental Influences, Suppression of Left-hand, Support and Consideration, Feeling It Is Okay, Left-handers as Being Particular, Physical and Psychological Health Challenges, Agonized Life, Struggle for Maintaining Identity and Transforming Attitude, Attitudinal Barriers to Equality and Acceptance. Implications of the research for parents, teachers, and psychologists are discussed.Keywords: Left-handedness, suppression, discrimination, IPARight-handedness or dexterity (from Latin word dextra, meaning right) is an estimable trait very different from being left-handed or sinister (Latin sinistra, left). Left-handedness is a tendency to use the left-hand more proficiently than the right-hand. A person can be thought to be a left-hander when he/she attains better results with the hand, as well as when he/she gives preference to the hand in activities which need strength, good co-ordination and accuracy (Meyer, 1998). As universally known, generally people use hand overwhelmingly than the and the population which is more agile with the hand is comparatively small, i.e., about 10-15%.For centuries, individuals' have been in search for the answers that why people have a preference for left-hand over the and why the hand is chosen in such a minority (Franklin, 2008). The evidence for the determination of left-handedness has been attributed to heredity, environment, or to the brain functioning and data of various sorts have been used in attempts to establish one fact or another.Left-handedness in Different Cultures and ReligionsIn determination of hand preference, culture, and religion also play their role. The difference between and right-handers in different cultures and belief systems focuses on the likelihood that left-handedness may be a sign or an indicator of some pathology, problem or evil. Supporters of this perspective have suggested that these problems have been noticeable enough to work their way into folk psychology. The traditions from numerous disparate cultures reflect the underlying assumption that right-handedness is allied with normality and left-handedness stands for abnormality or pathology.Stan Gooch (as cited in Crabtree, 2002a) highlights the fact that in vast majority of cultures, from every continent like Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, and America, the left is normally associated with femininity and the right with masculinity.Left-handedness is extremely disapproved in most cultures. Ancient Greeks and Romans considered the side as imperfect and blasphemous. In Nigeria, people are inclined to view left-handedness as worst as a sign of evil or at best an expectantly curable adversity. About half a century ago in Japan, left-handedness in a wife was thought to be more than enough for divorce. Only a decade ago in Taiwan, left-handed people were highly supported to swap to being right-handed or at least to write with the right-hand (Dada, 2000; Handedness, 2009; Kalafiit, 2008).In South America, the is regarded as good, life and divine but the as bad, evil and morose. Similarly, among North American Indians the stands for bravery and virility but the indicates death and interment (Crabtree, 2002b).Mandal and Dutta (2001) establish in a series of studies that about 10% of humans are left-handed, though the prevalence rate varies due to sex, age, and cultural geographical locations. …" @default.
