Abstract
The cross-cultural validity of the Fe (femininity) scale of the California Psychological Inventory was evaluated in samples of 300 male and 300 female Japanese university students. Item tallies showed 30 of 38 differences in agreement with the original scoring; 1 reversal was significant at p <.01 and 3 at p <.05. Mean Fe scores were 18.88 for Japanese males and 22.16 for females. The difference of 3.88 was significant at p <.01 and gave rise to a point-biserial coefficient of .46. It was concluded that the Fe scale is sufficiently valid for use in Japanese investigations.
