We recently sought to determine if the sex difference in odor identification ability observed in American Blacks and Whites (Doty et al., 1984a, b Figure 1) was also present in American Koreans and Native Japanese subjects.

The Black and White Americans were comprised mainly of university employees and students, participants in regional health fairs, primary and secondary school students, and youngsters enrolled at summer camps and day care centers. The Korean Americans were part of a Sunday school population at a local Korean church, whereas the Japanese subjects were members of the staff and faculty of a hospital in a medium-sized Japanese metropolitan city (Kawasaki-shi).
