This paper continues the psychological studies of "Manchuria" after 1936. The previous entry in this journal introduced the topic. This paper focuses on the works of the psychologists associated with the Research Institute of Kenkoku University1 and the Manchukuoan Psychological Association. Professor Tanenari Chiba, the chief professor of the University and the president of the Association, endeavored for the establishment of the theoretical methodology for race study. Under his influence, Professor Saburo Abe and Associate Professor Tsukasa Susukita respectively investigated the racial characters of "Manchuria". Intelligence tests were administered to pupils from various racial groups in the area. These tests were conducted over period of three years by members of the Hsinking District Sectional Meeting of the Association. Unfortunately, that data disappeared with the fall of "Manchukuo". In addition to the studies indicated above, other researches were also reviewed for this study. These studies provide two contributions: (1) the ideological maintenance of the status quo, and (2) the methodological hypotheses for race psychology.
