选择要包括在惯用手问卷中的活动在惯用手分类中至关重要(另见本卷第6章)。当比较来自不同文化的数据时，这一点尤其正确，因为在不同的文化中，相同的活动可能是也可能不是一个好的手部偏好问卷项目。例如，“写作”通常被认为是衡量惯用手的基本项目之一，并已被包括在大多数问卷中。然而，在日本，使用左手写字是被禁止的，因此，在调查问卷中写字导致日本人中左撇子的患病率较低。在最近对日本参与者的两项研究中，左撇子的患病率估计为5%(Hatta&Kawakami，1995)和4.7%(Ida&Bryden，1996)，但用左手写字的人的患病率分别为1.2%和1.4%。在反对使用左手的强大文化压力下，一些活动在文化上存在偏见，因此应该被排除在调查问卷之外。因子分析似乎是选择活动来衡量手的偏好的有用工具。例如，Bryden(1977)根据Crovitz-Zener测验(Crovitz&Zener，1962)和Oldfield的因素分析结果，推荐了五种活动作为惯用手问卷的项目
The selection of activities to be included in a handedness questionnaire is of critical importance in the classification of handedness (see also Chapter 6, this volume). This is especially true when comparing data from different cultures, became the same activity may or may not be a good item for a hand preference questionnaire in different cultures. For example,“writing” is often considered one of the fundamental items to measure handedness and has been included in most questionnaires. However, the use of the left hand for writing is suppressed in Japan and thus, inclusion of writing in a questionnaire leads to a lower measured prevalence of left handers among Japanese. In two recent studies with Japanese participants, the prevalence of left handers was estimated to be 5%(Hatta & Kawakami, 1995) and 4.7%(Ida & Bryden, 1996), but the prevalence of people who write with the left hand was 1.2% and 1.4%, respectively. In societies under strong cultural pressure against the use of the left hand, some activities are culturally biased and thus, should be excluded from a questionnaire.Factor analysis seems to be a useful tool to select activities to measure hand preference. For example, Bryden (1977) recommended five activities as the items of a handedness questionnaire, based on the results of factor analysis for the Crovitz-Zener Test (Crovitz & Zener, 1962) and Oldfield
