The Body-Image Disturbance Scale (BIDS; Fisher, 1959) has been related to various body-image indices and to inventory scales measuring neurotic tendencies. However, it also has a high loading on a quality of drawing factor (Nichols & Struempfer, 1962). These findings raised the question whether the BIDS would relate to body-image measures if quality of drawing were held constant. DAPs of 224 female college students were rated on the Wagner-Schubert Quality Scale and 104 Ss close to the median score were selected to obtain a sample that was homogeneous with respect co quality of drawing. The DAPs of these Ss were scored on the BIDS and the upper (more disturbed) and lower 25% groups were retained for further study. These rwo groups were compared on the Rorschach Barrier and Penetration scores, associative listing of body parts (Bennett, 1960) and a tachistoscopic body image rest (Fisher & Abercrombie, 1958). The Rorschach scores and the frequently listed body parts did not differentiate the groups. Parts listed five or fewer times by either group differentiated significantly, the upper group showing more heterogeneity in listing parts. Eleven of these infrequently listed parts were not at all mentioned by the lower group, e.g., knee, shoulder and thigh. These are not main parts, as are leg, arm or head, and were considered as non-integrated parts of the body concept. Thus, listing a variety of them was construed as a form of body-image disturbance. On the tachistoscopic test the upper group attributed significantly more disturbances to undisturbed figures than the lower group. Notwithstanding experimental restrlctlon of the range of drawing quality, scores on BIDS thus continued to relate to body.lm3.e~ measures, and as such appear not to be merely another impure measure of the qua11[y ot drawing factor.
