Abstract

Personality traits are linked to a variety of cognitive and socio-emotional factors, including lateralization patterns. Autism, prosopagnosia, and atypical cradling have been associated with altered lateralization and socio-emotional processing. This study explores how autism traits, cradling-side preferences, and face recognition abilities relate to individual personality differences. Three-hundred neurotypical adults (150 males) completed an online survey including the imaged cradling preference and three validated questionnaires: the Autism spectrum Quotient (AQ), Prosopagnosia Index-20 (PI-20), and the Big Five Personality Questionnaire (BFQ). Results showed a strong left-cradling bias (LCB) unaffected by sex, handedness, parental status, autism traits, or face recognition abilities. AQ negatively predicted Extraversion, Agreeableness, Emotional Stability, and Openness. LCB correlated with higher Agreeableness and moderated the negative association between AQ and Extraversion. These findings suggest a potential link between cradling preferences, autism traits, and personality, possibly reflecting reduced right-hemisphere specialization in emotional processing and social behaviour.

不对称影响深远：拥抱偏见、面部识别、自闭特征和个性之间的相互作用。

人格特征与多种认知和社会情感因素有关，包括侧化模式。自闭症、面孔失认症和非典型摇篮与侧化和社会情绪处理的改变有关。本研究探讨了自闭症特征、摇篮侧偏好和面部识别能力与个体人格差异之间的关系。300名神经正常的成年人（150名男性）完成了一项在线调查，包括图像摇篮偏好和三份有效问卷：自闭症谱系商数（AQ）、面孔失认指数-20 （PI-20）和大五人格问卷（BFQ）。结果显示，强烈的左摇篮偏见（LCB）不受性别、惯用手、父母身份、自闭症特征或面部识别能力的影响。AQ负向预测外向性、宜人性、情绪稳定性和开放性。低智商与较高的宜人性相关，并能调节智商与外向性之间的负相关。这些发现表明，抚育偏好、自闭症特征和人格之间存在潜在的联系，可能反映了右脑在情绪处理和社会行为方面的专业化程度降低。

期刊介绍： Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition publishes high quality research on all aspects of lateralisation in humans and non-human species. Laterality"s principal interest is in the psychological, behavioural and neurological correlates of lateralisation. The editors will also consider accessible papers from any discipline which can illuminate the general problems of the evolution of biological and neural asymmetry, papers on the cultural, linguistic, artistic and social consequences of lateral asymmetry, and papers on its historical origins and development. The interests of workers in laterality are typically broad.
