For this reason, 61 male and 12 female right handedfin selfreports); chronic schizophrenic cases have been studied. Annet`s peg moving task was performed to the subjects to determine the hand preference. Subjects \vere divided into three grottps as right handed insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RH);, left handed insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LH); and mixed handed insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MH); according to the task results. Hand preferences of the patients vvere 30insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(41.1%); RH, 9insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12.3%); LH, 34insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(46.6%); MH Stat ist ically, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(here was signifıcant difference in hand preferences between sexesinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p= 0.0245);. it is concluded that shift to left trend is only related \vith males. The difference between right and left handed groups in the duration of disease was statistically meaningfulinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.0213);. The left hemispheric functions regressed relative to the right hemispheric funcüons. it was observed that shift to left trend increased and it is thought that various organic palhologies determined in the left hemispheres of the patients progressed during the disease.
