SYNOPSIS The present study examined psychopathology in 64 volunteers for an on‐going headache research project.Subjects (19 to 58 years old) who responded immediately to newspaper articles requesting volunteersdiffered in levels of psychopathology from those who responded later. It was further noted that thedifferences observed occurred on those MMPI scales found to discriminate among headache diagnosticgroups (Scales 2, 7, and 8). Recommendations for future research are made in light of these findings.
