Inkpen, Kori, Dearman, David, Argue, Ritchie, Comeau, Marc, Fu, Ching-Lung, Kolli, Sekhar, Moses, Jeremy, Pilon, Nick and Wallace, James (2006): Left-Handed Scrolling for Pen-Based Devices. In International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 21 (1) pp. 91-108

The effectiveness of interaction with mobile devices can be impacted by handedness; however, support for handedness in the interface is rarely provided. The goal of this article is to demonstrate that handedness is a significant interface consideration that should not be overlooked. Four studies were conducted to explore left-handed user interaction with right- or left-aligned scrollbars on personal digital assistants. Analysis of the data shows that left-handed users are able to select targets significantly faster using a left-aligned scrollbar when compared to a right-aligned scrollbar. User feedback also indicated that a left-aligned scrollbar was preferred by left-handed users and provided more natural interaction.

The computer can be thought of from the perspective of its technology [...] from the field of computer science. Or it can be thought of as a social tool, a structure that will change social interaction and social policy, for better or for worse. It can be thought of as a personal assistant, where the goals and intentions of the user become of primary concern. It can be viewed from the experience of the user, a view that changes considerably with the task, the person, the design of the system. The filed of human-computer interaction needs all these views, all these issues, and more besides.

-- Stephen Draper and Donald Norman. In "User Centered System Design" (1986) p. 1
