具有不同手部偏好的人会将积极和消极的情绪分配到身体的不同侧面，并在内容是积极的时候用他们的优势手产生协同语音手势。在这项研究中，我们调查了这方面的偏好，利手在手势理解和生产。参与者在眼动仪上观看了包含消极和积极内容的无脸手势视频，并被要求在每个视频后复述故事。结果表明，对于左撇子或右撇子，他们的外貌偏好没有差异。然而，情绪效价的影响被观察到。当信息是积极的时，参与者花更多的时间看右边（演员的左边），当信息是消极的时，他们花更多的时间看左边（演员的右边）。参与者的复述故事揭示了一个利手效应，只有不同类型的手势（代表与节拍）。每个人都用他们的优势手来打手势。对于代表性的手势，虽然右撇子更多地使用右手，但左撇子同样使用双手。总体而言，在理解和生产水平的用手和情感内容之间缺乏显着差异表明，身体特定的心理表征可能不会延伸到会话水平。
People with different hand preferences assign positive and negative emotions to different sides of their bodies and produce co-speech gestures with their dominant hand when the content is positive. In this study, we investigated this side preference by handedness in both gesture comprehension and production. Participants watched faceless gesture videos with negative and positive content on eye tracker and were asked to retell the stories after each video. Results indicated no difference in looking preferences regarding being right- or left-handed. Yet, an effect of emotional valence was observed. Participants spent more time looking to the right (actor's left) when the information was positive and to the left (actor's right) when the information was negative. Participants' retelling of stories revealed a handedness effect only for different types of gestures (representational vs beat). Individuals used their dominant hands for beat gestures. For representational gestures, while the right-handers used their right hands more, the left-handers gestured using both hands equally. Overall, the lack of significant difference between handedness and emotional content in both comprehension and production levels suggests that body-specific mental representations may not extend to the conversational level.
