Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discover whether findings before the end of the 1990s about Japanese views are still applicable to females today. To this end, various literatures about cultural self-construals are examined, and Takata et al.'s scales and Takata's sub-categories (Takata, Omoto and Seike, 1996) are referred to in some detail. The subjects used as data for this study are 147 females in the Kansai area, Japan, and their age range is from their 20's to their 70's. The survey's results seem to agree with previously-noted Japanese characteristics which were concluded from studies of Japanese males and females together.
