Popis: Relationship between handedness and thinking styles in female and male students was evaluated. Two hundred university students were selected. The Edinburgh handedness inventory and Sternberg-Wagner thinking styles inventory were used. Significant relationship was found between handedness and legislative, judicial, executive, hierarchical, monarchic, oligarchic, global, local, liberal, and conservative thinking styles. Left-handed participants used legislative, judicial, and hierarchical thinking styles more frequently. Right-handed individuals used executive and local thinking styles more. There is a relationship between handedness and thinking styles. The differences can be attributed to genetic characteristics, family, culture, and gender.
