Cronbachs alpha coefficients to test internal reliability. Independent samples t test to check for any differences in scores across domains between computer and paper versions. ANOVA to test the discriminatory ability of IMPACT-III (UK) in patients with different disease activity. Correlation with comparable domains of the Child Health

It is a reminder that humans are corporeal, as well as thinking beings. The act of leaking along with the bodily fluids resulting from the process is regarded as disgusting, revolting and undesirable. The construction of leakiness in this way creates the idea of the ‘normal’ body in relation to leakiness; this being a body able to control leakiness and to create the illusion of a non-leaking body. The creation of normalcy from this perspective constructs the leaky body as a deviant body and attaches particular personal characteristics to the person owning such a body (everyone). A person is considered uncivil or in-polite if they ‘leak’ in someone’s presence, people are forbidden to discuss leaking/leakiness, are encouraged to hide their ‘leakiness’ and even be discrete when leaking controllably.
This paper addresses the profound construction of leakiness and demonstrates how the stigma affects not just those with bodies that find controlling leakiness difficult, but ‘controlled’ bodies too. All bodies fall victim in some way to the negative construction of leakiness. By exposing the ludicrous assumption that leakiness is ‘abnormal’ this paper explores the messy world of leakiness by highlighting contradictions evident in society by sensationalising certain practices/life events (e.g. sex and pregnancy) whilst simultaneously being unable to deal with the corporeal consequences of them.
