Anxiety scores of 35 male and 35 female students (28 right‐handers, 23 left‐handers and 19 mixed‐handers) were assessed in relation to the handedness classification of each individual. Females were found to show higher anxiety scores than were males; but in contradiction to previous findings, left‐handers and mixed‐handers were not found to be more anxious than right‐handers. Extremes of handedness, however, were closely related to anxiety scores, with the strongly right‐handed and the strongly left‐handed both showing higher anxiety scores than those whose hand preferences were less extreme
