“…The bulk of the IPATHA work since 1999 have been devoted to the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S) [15], a written survey instrument developed primarily for adults but also appropriate for older children and adolescents. Now widely used [10], numerous studies have documented that the instrument has satisfactory properties for user-friendliness [18], testretest reliability [16,21,22], construct and discriminative validity [16,22], internal consistency, translations to different languages [23], and adaptability to different sampling strategies [24][25][26].…”

“…Using the Parental Attitudes Towards Stuttering Inventory, Crowe and Cooper reported that parents of stuttering children demonstrated more negative attitudes that parents of a control group of nonstuttering children. From an interview study, Abalı, Beşikçi, Kınalı, and Tüzün deduced that parents of children and adolescents in Turkey punished or warned their children about stuttering after it had been established [15,16].…”

“…First, it sought to document the extent to which a new measure of stuttering attitudes among friends and family member (the Appraisal of the Stuttering Environment (ASE)) [19] as well as a new measure of stuttering attitudes of young children (the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering/Child (POSHA-S/Child) [20] correspond with the widely used measure for adults, i.e., the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S) [15]. Second, it sought to determine if parental status of adults affected their measured attitudes toward stuttering.…”

Background: In this paper, two new measures of public attitudes toward stuttering, the public opinion survey of human attributes-stuttering/child (POSHA-S/Child), an epidemiological instrument for young children, and the appraisal of the stuttering environment (ASE), a clinical self-report instrument to measure attitudes among family members and close friends of stuttering clients, are compared with the widely-used public opinion survey of human attributes-stuttering (POSHA-S). Previous studies were integrated with a new study to document that both the POSHA-S/Child and the ASE provide similar summary ratings (Beliefs and Self Reactions sub scores and Overall Stuttering Scores) to the POSHA-S.

“…They reportedly would not be bothered by stuttering, a finding that was recently confirmed in older children (Panico et al, 2015). Further, they expressed that they would feel patient with and sorry for a child who stutters.…”

“…In addition, they consistently affirmed that stutterers are "[un]able to talk well, nervous, and shy." Children 6-to 13-years-old have also generated similar descriptions of stuttering speakers (Franck et al, 2003;Hartford & Leahy, 2007;Panico et al, 2015), and these descriptions persist throughout adulthood (see Hughes, 2015 for a review).…”

Measuring and Changing Preschool Children's Stuttering Attitudes

Background: Negative or uninformed stuttering attitudes proliferate among the general public, and bourgeoning research has shown that such attitudes might emerge as early as the preschool years. Despite decades of research on the topic, much remains unknown about the origin of stuttering attitudes and the factors that bear on their development. Moreover, conclusive recommendations to improve attitudes toward stuttering have yet to be advanced. Purpose: This study sought (a) to objectively measure stuttering attitudes among preschool children, (b) to examine predictive factors that might account for those attitudes, and (c) to determine the effect of a new educational program on improving preschoolers' stuttering attitudes. It was hypothesized that children would hold uninformed or negative attitudes about stuttering, which would be amenable to improvement following the educational program. Children's experience with stuttering and their social cognitive skills were expected to have a positive effect on their stuttering attitudes. Other factors, such as parent attitudes and demographic variables, were expected to have little to no effect. Method: The stuttering attitudes of 55 preschoolers were measured using the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering/Child (POSHA-S/Child). Data were interpreted relative to children's demographic variables, exposure to stuttering, personal factors, and parent stuttering attitudes (obtained from 38 parent respondents). Thirtyseven children learned about stuttering and sensitive peer interactions by participating in the Attitude Change and Tolerance (InterACT) program. Their POSHA-S/Child ratings were obtained following the program, and compared to a control group. Results: Pre-post comparisons showed statistically significant improvements in stuttering beliefs and self reactions for children in the experimental group, and no significant attitude change for control participants. Prior exposure to stuttering was associated with more positive baseline attitudes, but other variables had marginal-to-negligible predictive power. iii Acknowledgements This dissertation is a culmination of the support I received from those who believed in this project and in my ability to achieve it. First and foremost, I extend deepest gratitude to my advisor, Ken St. Louis. Through his constant mentorship and guidance, I learned what it means to be persistent in the pursuit of a vision, how to be resilient in times of adversity, and that growth occurs beyond the confines of one's comfort zone. He helped me become a better researcher, teacher, and person. I am both humbled and privileged to have had the opportunity to learn from one of the "greats." I am indebted to my doctoral committee-Dr.
