“…For example, Charman (1979) found that extraverts processed information more effectively in the RH than in the LH, while introverts processed information more effectively in the LH than in the RH. From a hemispheric model, Crossman and Polich (1989) found a similar trend, namely, a significant relation between right-brain typing and extraversion and left-brain typing and introversion. The present statistically nonsignificant results in respect of FHA differences between introverts and extraverts, as well as the extreme scarcity of studies investigating a relation between introversion-extraversion and FHA, and the dubious design of the few studies that did investigate this matter, for example Charman (1979), renders it difficult to explain the results of this study.…”

Research investigating the relation between Functional Hemispheric Asymmetry (FHA) and the perception of affect in clinical as well as normal populations, is characterized by contradictory findings regarding the role of the different hemispheres, especially as regards the perception of various valencies of emotions. Although various methodological problems or error variances are often blamed for the contradictory findings and general lack of consensus, the literature is increasingly pointing to the existence of evidently reliable individual differences between people regarding their hemispheric functioning. The problem investigated in this study was to determine the possible role of some organismic variables in FHA. The objectives of this study were to determine whether there were significant differences in the direction of FHA-differences, as well as the relative performance, of groups divided according to gender and temperament characteristics, and whether the relevant organismic variables offered a possible means of explaining the contradictions in research results on FHA and the perception of emotion.
