The present study was conducted on Utility of Somatic Inkblot Series-II in Assessing Body Dysphoria in Young Adults. A sample of 200 young adults varying by gender (100 Male And 100 Female), individually, following standard procedures (Cassell, 1980), were administered the somatic inkblot series to ascertain projective assessed aspects of body image in adulthood. Descriptive statistic (mean, standard deviation) and t- ratios were computed to compare the two groups’ in terms of significance of mean differences which are reported in table. There are significant differences in the PG male students and PG female students with regard to some SIS-II precepts.
