Data from 166 students were used in an oblique rotation to derive factor patterns for male and femme Japanese Americans. There was a consistent acculturated pattern for Japanese males and two factor patterns for female Japanese. The first factor for Japanese females revealed an achievement-oriented, acadamically skilled personality pattern showing ego-dominant features. The second factor showed a shy, submissive, nuturant, heterosexually interested, less verbal pattern of factor loadings. This was interpreted in terms of retention of the traditional Japanese values for females in the light of their historical origin.
