Discrimination against left-handed individuals, termed handism, affects about 10.6% of the global population. Left-handers encounter unique challenges in environments tailored for right-handed users, coupled with cultural stigmas. A recent study has crafted the Perceived Handism Discrimination Scale (PHDS), aimed at measuring how left-handed individuals perceive discrimination. This tool uses specific items to gauge experiences, providing a basis for further understanding and research into handism, ultimately seeking to bring attention to this overlooked form of discrimination.
"A new study on perceived handism discrimination developed the Perceived Handism Discrimination Scale (PHDS), enabling researchers to measure left-handed individuals' subjective experiences of discrimination."
"Approximately 10.6% of people are left-handed, often experiencing challenges not faced by right-handers, highlighting their minority status and the discrimination they encounter."
