Right-, left-handedness affects judgment

Only lefties are in their right mind.

Strangely, in cinema it's a rule of thumb to bring the protagonist in from the left of frame and the villain from the right.

Perhaps this is due to a higher concentration of lefties in the arts, but it's also theorized that it's because we (mainly) like to read left to right. This may be well-grounded; I can think of opposite individual cases from countries with R-L writing but haven't seen enough to draw statistical conclusions.

I didn't realize it before, but I do recall (now that I think about it) always thinking that the good stuff on restaurant menus are on the right side.

I wonder if I'm just conditioned to look for that by now though. I'm somewhat ambidextrous, doing some things left-handed and other things right-handed. I did picture the "good animal" in the left-hand box though.

I wonder how this relates to magazine ads that occupy the right pages. From what I've heard so far they cost more because of the way we hold magazines and thus it is more likely the viewer will pay more attention to them. Maybe on a more subtle level they are more effective because the majority is right handed.

I question how fair some of this is, it's natural to me at least to not want to reach across an empty page to start my drawing, it would be better if we knew also which character was drawn first, the good or the evil I think.

Being left handed, does that make me sinister? hah.

This has MASSIVE implications. e.g. when facing a trial, find out whether the judge is left or right-handed, and sit as appropriate!

I wonderi f there are any implications for conversions on the web. Someone should do an A/B test.

Correlation does not imply causation.
