Body Image (Continued from page 1) more sensitive tests for measuring self concepts and body image. He set about to determine whether the interactiori of certain types of thought processes—certain ways of looking at the world-with the presence of a physical anomaly produced certain predictable body images. Clifford has already tested a group of 100 "normal" youngsters. Their responses have been compiled and stored on computer cards. But Clifford says he won't be able to tell what the results mean—what the "norms" are—until he has collected data on cleft-palate children, asthmatics, obese children and other groups who might be expected to deviate from the norm. One of the tests, for example, is a body comparison questionnaire. It mentions such seemingly unimportant items as width of the nose, length of the rieck, how fast a person can run and how well he can see. It asks the person to compare himself with others on these items. Among the normal group, Clifford found that on the average, individuals said they differed from other people on about 10 of 40 items. But a body who had recently been severely crippled in an accident took the test and was unable to think of himself as being different on more than two or three items. Clifford said such an elevated self-concept might be a defense the boy developed in response to the accident. The childreh are also given body satisfaction tests to see what they would or wouldn't like to change about themselves —height, weight, moods, intelligence—and another test to see how their actual bodies match up to their concept of the ideal body. In addition, Clifford has developed a series of laboratory experiments designed to measure a person's feelings about his body. One of these is a tilting chair placed in a totally dark room. A child is put in the chair, tilted, and told to straighten himself up. In the dark room he is givet no visual clues and must depend on hi body to tell him when he is vertical. . Another lab test asks the child to estimate his own size by regulating the size of his own photograph projected on a very large screen. ; Clifford said if the data from testing various groups can be translated into dependable norms, the tests could be used as a diagnostic tool the way other psychological tests are now used. If body image disturbances in people could be detected, the patients could be referred to the right place for help. If a person were under psychiatric treatment for a condition related to body image, the tests could help determine his progress. ' The tests could also help measure a person's expectancies from body-modification surgery and the changes which take place in his self concepts after surgery to correct an anomaly. -YVONNE BASKIN by the Camera . i ■■ I PAPERS, Although her first love is working with patients, ALPN Dorothy Durden of the Surgical Outpatient Clinic finds paperwork to be an ever-present part of her job.
