University students completed Annett's (1970) Handedness Inventory ( n = 254) and the Trait Scale of the Spielberger Anxiety Questionnaire (n = 247). No relationship was found between anxiety and the hand preference classes distinguished by Annett (1970). Discrepancies between these findings and others reported in the literature are attributed to methodological factors concerning the measurement of handedness.
