Summary
Of 24 boys between the ages of 8 and 12 years who were tested individually with the Rorschach, 8 were stutterers in treatment, 8 were in treatment for articulation defects, and 8 were selected randomly from a group of individuals with normal speech. The Rorschach responses were scored from body-interior awareness and body-boundary awareness. The null hypothesis was that there would be no significant differences among the groups. Stutterers scored significantly (p < .01) higher than the other 2 groups on the body-boundary dimension. No other significant differences were found. Stutterers seem more aware than articulation-defectives and normals of their body boundaries.
