Academic achievement and learning abilities in left-handers: guilt or gift?

The main purpose of this cross-sectional study was to compare the acceptance rate (AR) of left-handers (LHs) with that of right-handers (RHs) in the college entrance examination (CEE) for the national universities in Iran. During 5 successive years, fifty thousand participants in this exam were randomly sampled. We evaluated the relationships between AR and hand preference, sex, college admission (CA), entrance exam score (EES) and study areas: Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Humanities and Art. The acceptance rate of the LHs over the entire study period was significantly higher than that of the RHs (27.3% versus 24.3%, p < 0.0001). The mean score attained on examination by LHs was significantly higher than that of RHs in all study areas (p < 0.002). The acceptance rate of LHs in all study areas was higher but the difference reached statistical significance in the Art area only (p < 0.01). It is concluded that left-handers may be regarded as a heterogeneous large group consisting of different subgroups. Those who are able to compete for the college entrance examination score are even more successful than right-handers in terms of average EES and the rate of CA.

Guilt, isolation and hopelessness among female survivors of childhood sexual abuse: effectiveness of group work intervention.

OBJECTIVE: This study explores the effects of group work intervention on female survivors' senses of guiltlessness, affiliation and hopefulness. METHOD: Secondary comparative analyses of a large quasi-experiment-based clinical data base were accomplished (Richter, Snider, & Gorey): group work intervention (N = 78) and a waiting-list condition (N = 80). RESULTS: Group work was found to have beneficial effects on adult female survivors' appropriate sense of guiltlessness for their childhood sexual abuse, as well as on their sense of affiliation and hopefulness. Consistent across the three outcome measures of guilt/guiltlessness, isolation/affiliation and hopelessness/hopefulness, 16 to 18 of every 20 such women who participated in group work did better than the average woman in the waiting-list comparison group. Moreover, these apparent clinical benefits were maintained for 6 months (all p < .01). CONCLUSION: Such effects may be characterized as very large, and are generally larger than those previously observed in this field of practice that have typically been based on more general measures of depression, self-esteem or global symptoms.

[Guilt and aggression in children after the death of a relative].

Children may feel guilty about the death of a close relative. The reasons are analyzed: in most cases guilty feelings remain unjustified. Consequent changes in the child's behavior are described, including aggressivity, depressive symptoms and regression. A preventive comprehensive attitude of the surviving family circle will help children to overcome these feelings.
