The great majority of people that are right-handed are also right-legded. Did you check the Oldfield Inventory? http://gade.psy.ku.dk/Readings/Oldfield1971.pdf

Good luck for your research!
Just gently push the person from behind. The leg with which he steps forward is usually the dominant leg (repeat up to 3 times to be sure).

To follow up Christophe's answer, this may also be tested by closing the testees eyes and leaning body forward until one must step the other (faster/dominant) leg forward to gain balance (i.e not to fall on ones nose). We use this in my sports club when testing which leg should be the front one in split jerk in weightlifting discipline.
You should try The Waterloo Footedness Questionnaire by Bryden. You can find additional details in http://www.ucl.ac.uk/medical-education/resources/Waterloo/WatFoot_HandQuest36items-Elias1998.pdf
Good luck!
