Cerebral Hemispherecity, College Major and Occupational Choices.

Lavach, John F.

Journal of Creative Behavior, v25 n3 p218-22 1991

This study investigated the relationship between hemispherecity and college major in 275 undergraduate students. Results suggested that humanities majors prefer a diffuse divergent thinking style. Natural science and social science majors prefer an integrated or left model of intellectual functioning, though social science majors also preferred a more verbal orientation. (DB)
