title: [Failure to live up to a value measure as a specific conflict situation in migraine patients].
abstract: In order to test the hypothesis that "migraine"-patients fail to live up their own sets of values, a questionnaire-test was designed covering the following dimensions: aggressivity in frustrating situations, frustration-tolerance, ambition, personal sets of values, compulsive tendencies towards orderliness, rigidity. On scrutinizing the material produced by 27 test cases and 25 control cases significant differences regarding both aggressivity in frustrating situations and compulsive orderliness were established. Regarding compulsive orderliness migraine-patients have proved to be very demanding; being frustrated in their demands, they act out their aggressions to a significantly lesser degree than the control cases. These findings are qualified, however, by the fact that the capacity for self-evaluation seems to be markedly reduced where a high value of neuroticism (established through comparison with EPI) was found.
