Wechsler Object Assembly subtest and bodily concern: A review and replication.

Abstract

Earlier findings suggested that the Wechsler Object Assembly (OA) subtest scores were significantly lower in adults and children who had major concerns about bodily intactness. Subsequent research with children has yielded equivocal results about the relationship between OA and bodily concerns. The present paper presents several additional attempts to test the previous observation of a relationship between OA and bodily concerns in adults. In three independent samples, adults with a Wechsler profile in which OA was the first or second lowest subtest had a significantly greater number and percentage of Rorschach responses which indicate bodily concern than Ss in which OA was the first or second highest subtest. Also, based on a brief one-line description of presenting symptoms in the appendix to the Rapaport volumes, the Wechsler scores of 5s with reports of bodily concern were compared with the rest of the patients. Of all the Wechsler subtests, only the Digit Span and OA tended to have a significantly lower rank for the patients with bodily concerns.
