Abstract

The per cent of sex chromatin in a buccal smear correlated non-linearly with measures of achievement motivation and masculinity of body structure. Smokers had more sex chromatin than non-smokers. Achievement motivation and smoking were positively correlated. Masculinity of body structure showed complex relationships with smoking which depended on Ss' sex and religion, and possibly, the cultural pressure against smoking.
