The 38-item Femininity Scale of the California Psychological Inventory has validly differentiated between males and females in seven countries, and the extension of these findings to other countries would help yield an instrument for further cross-cultural studies. A Hebrew translation of the scale was administered to a random sample of the Israeli population, consisting of 200 males and 200 females. The means were 16. 36 and 22. 02 respectively and the difference of 5. 66 is highly significant (p <. 001). All the items, except one, differentiated in the proper direction, though several items showed low discriminating power. The validity of Fe in Israel is one of the highest among the countries for which studies are available, and is next to the results obtained in U.S.A.
