The Eysenck Personality Scores of Japanese and Canadian Undergraduates

Summary This study examined and compared personality structures, as measured by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, across cultures and sex for Japanese (127 female, 131 male) and Canadian (136 female and 142 male) Ss. Second-order factors labelled Social Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Social Desirability were identified across all four subsamples; also, two factors were identified as culture specific. Comparisons of scale means showed both cross-cultural and sex differences, as well as differences from the British norms.
