Abstract

An analysis of hand use by character role (protagonist princesses versus antagonist villains) from all 13 Disney "Princess" movies was conducted. Over time, protagonists became less right-handed than antagonists, with this relationship primarily occurring after 1992. Overall, protagonists became less right-handed over the past ∼80 years, while antagonists' handedness remained stable. Hand use in characters was much less right-handed than in the human population and, contrary to the cultural and historical association between left-handedness and evil, antagonists now tend to be more strongly right-handed than protagonists.

公主之手：迪士尼动画电影《公主》中主角和反派的惯用手。

对所有13部迪士尼“公主”电影中的角色（主角公主和反派反派）的手部使用情况进行了分析。随着时间的推移，主角变得不像反派那样惯用右手，这种关系主要发生在1992年之后。总的来说，在过去的80年里，主角的右撇子变少了，而对手的右撇子保持稳定。与人类相比，角色的右手使用要少得多，而且与左撇子与邪恶之间的文化和历史联系相反，反派现在比主角更倾向于使用右手。

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.
