| Research Abstract |
Previous studies about step-out behavior have been examined relations with laterality. Man has left-right asymmetry when he does something by hands or legs. We call it as "laterality". And there is "latent laterality" which should be differentiated from ordinary one. If a person has asymmetric probability for left-handedness although he is right-handedness in ordinary reference, for example, we call him as "latent left-handedness". Some studies should be needed about relation between latent laterality and step-out behavior.
The purpose of this study is to find behavioral difference between obvious right laterality and latent left laterality under the suddenly hazardous situation (step-out behavior), In this study, an experiment was conducted in three virtual environments. Three stimuli were presented to subjects at straight movement. 30 subjects out of 42 subjects were selected for total survey. As a result, we confirmed some behavioral difference in direction between latent left-handedness and obvious right-handedness in experiment in the hazardous situation of car-collision (virtual environment 2 : stimulus presented from the front). These results are significant at 5% level of the two-way chi-square. There should be some relations between latent laterality and step-out behavior.
