N2  - 135 female and 75 male undergraduates (aged 18-30 yrs) responded to the Beck Depression Inventory and to 9 items assessing depression from the Hopkins Symptom Checklist. The hypothesis was explored that males particularly would endorse test items in a less "depressed" direction when presented explicitly as constituting a test of depression, but would endorse more depressive content when items were presented in a context not portrayed as measuring depression. Some support was obtained for the view that males may approach and respond differently to depression inventories compared to females.
