A scale of hemispheric preference in cognitive style was related to self-report measures of emotional functioning, with the hypothesis that persons who rely on cognition characteristic of one hemisphere may also manifest emotional characteristics of that hemisphere. In two studies, university students characterizing themselves as preferring a cognitive style representative of right hemisphere processes endorsed more positive emotional orientations. This finding may suggest a more optimistic attitude, but may also reflect a tendency to deny negative traits; a right hemispheric cognitive style was associated with a positive self-report bias. These observations in normals have interesting parallels to the changes in emotional orientation and self-description bias that follow lateralized brain lesions or temporal lobe epilepsy.
认知风格中半球偏好的量表与情绪功能的自我报告测量相关，其假设是依赖于一个半球特征性认知的人也可能表现出该半球的情绪特征。在两项研究中，将自己描述为偏好右半球过程代表性认知风格的大学生认可了更多积极的情绪取向。这一发现可能表明一种更乐观的态度，但也可能反映出否认负面特质的倾向；右半球认知风格与积极的自我报告偏差相关。正常人的这些观察结果与大脑半球侧化损伤或颞叶癫痫后情绪取向和自我描述偏差的变化有着有趣的相似之处。
