这项研究的目的是获得有关足部偏好的规范数据，并比较韩国大学生的大样本（N = 866）的用脚习惯和利手习惯，因为在韩国，左手写作和其他公共行为受到严格限制（Kang＆Harris，1993）。根据韩语版本的爱丁堡惯用手量表（EHI；Oldfield，1971）和滑铁卢足部问卷修订版（WFQ-R；Elias、Bryden 和 Bulman-Fleming，1988）的分数，11% 的受试者是左脚，但只有 4.2% 是左撇子。左撇子的比例明显高于右撇子，他们表现出交叉横向偏好，即偏好另一侧的脚。在具有交叉偏好的左撇子中，大多数是不一致的左撇子（ILH；Peters & Servos，1989），而大多数具有非交叉偏好的左撇子是一致的左撇子（CLH）。 EHI 和 WFQ-R 的因素分析显示，有 2 个用手习惯因素和 2 个足习惯因素。熟练的单足动作和平衡稳定的足部因素在方向、强度以及与混合足者和左撇子的惯用手的关系上各不相同，这与将足部划分为这些类别可能具有神经心理学意义的可能性一致。
This study was conducted to obtain normative data on foot preference and to compare footedness and handedness in a large sample (N = 866) of college students in Korea, where left-hand use for writing and other public acts is severely restricted (Kang & Harris, 1993). Based on scores from Korean-language versions of the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI; Oldfield, 1971) and the Waterloo Footedness Questionnaire Revised (WFQ-R; Elias, Bryden, & Bulman-Fleming, 1988), 11% of the subjects were left-footed but only 4.2% as left-handed. A significantly higher percentage of left-handers than right-handers showed crossed lateral preference, that is, for preference of the opposite-side foot. Of the left-handers with crossed preference, the majority were inconsistent left-handers (ILH; Peters & Servos, 1989), whereas most of those with uncrossed preference were consistent left-handers (CLH). Factor analysis of the EHI and WFQ-R revealed 2 handedness factors and 2 footedness factors. The footedness factors for skilled unipedal actions and for balancing-stabilizing varied in direction, strength, and relation to handedness in mixed-footers and left-handers, consistent with the possibility that the division of footedness into these categories might be neuropsychologically meaningful.
