Many investigations have compared deja vu incidence in male and female participants, but no consistent gender difference has emerged.
Some have found a higher incidence among women and girls (Gaynard, 1992; Myers & Grant, 1972), others have reported a higher incidence among men and boys (Green, 1966; NORC, 1984, 1988, 1989; Richardson & Winokur, 1967, sample of neurosurgery patients), and some have found no gender difference (Bernhard-Leroy, 1898; Chapman & Mensh, 1951; M. A. Harper, 1969; Kohr, 1980; Leeds, 1944; Palmer, 1979; Richardson & Winokur, 1967, sample of psychiatric patients; Sno et al., 1994).

Thus, deja vu is not clearly gender related in any obvious way.
