“…There is evidence that fluent children as young as 3 years of age recognise stuttering in their peers and that they may evaluate stuttering negatively as early as 4 years of age (Ezrati-Vinacour & Levin, 2004). Conflicting and variable responses from fluent communication partners and negative communication experiences have also been reported in adults who stutter (Blood, Blood, Maloney, Meyer, & Qualls, 2007;Cooper & Cooper, 1996;Kraaimaat, Vanryckeghem, & Van Dam-Baggen, 2002;Miller & Watson, 1992). Adults who stutter have demonstrated significantly greater expectancy of social harm than those who do not stutter (Davis et al, 2007;Kraaimaat et al, 2002;Messenger et al, 2004) and concerns about publicly acknowledging and discussing stuttering have been reported in adolescents who stutter (Blood, Blood, Tellis, & Gabel, 2003;Hearne, Packman, Onslow, & Quine, 2008).…”

“…There was no similar association between anxiety and selfreported difficulty with functional communication amongst the controls. A negative attitude toward communication is thought to perpetuate social anxiety among people who stutter (Blood et al, 2001;Davis et al, 2007;Kraaimaat et al, 2002;Messenger et al, 2004). It has been posited that a poorer attitude to communication may be the result of conditioning that occurs when a neutral communication activity is associated with negative and aversive consequences (Daly, McCroskey, Ayres, Hopf, & Ayres, 1997).…”

The present study examined the relationship between anxiety, attitude toward daily communication, and stuttering symptomatology in adolescent stuttering. Adolescents who stuttered (n = 19) showed significantly higher levels of trait, state and social anxiety than fluent speaking controls (n = 18). Trait and state anxiety was significantly associated with difficulty with communication in daily situations for adolescents who stutter, but not for controls. No statistically significant associations were found between anxiety and measures of communication difficulty, and the severity or typography of stuttering surface behaviours. These results highlight some of the psychosocial concomitants of chronic stuttering in adolescence, but challenge the notion that anxiety plays a direct mediating role in stuttering surface behaviours. Rather, the results suggest stuttering is a disorder that features psychosocial conflict regardless of its surface features.Educational objectives: The reader will be able to: (1) summarise findings from previous studies with regards to stuttering and anxiety; (2) identify the sub-types of anxiety that may impact on the individual who stutters; and (3) discuss the clinical implications of the results with regards to working with adolescents who stutter.

“…Physiological and emotional anxiety has been reported in persons who stutter (Blomgren, Roy, Callister, & Merrill, 2005;Blood, Blood, Bennett, Simpson, & Susman, 1994;Blood, Wertz, Blood, Bennett, & Simpson, 1997;Caruso, Chodzko-Zajko, Bidinger, & Sommers, 1994;Craig, 1990;Craig, Hancock, Tran, & Craig, 2003;DeCarle & Pato, 1996;Dietrich & Roaan, 2001;Ezrati-Vinacour & Levin, 2004;Fitzgerald, Djurdjic, & Maguin, 1992;Gabel, Colcord, & Petrosino, 2002;Kraaimaat, Jansseen, & Brutten, 1988;Kraaimaat, Vanryckeghem, & Van Dam-Baggen, 2002;Mahr & Torosian, 1999;Menzies, Onslow, & Packman, 1999;Messenger, Onslow, Packman, & Menzies, 2004;Miller & Watson, 1992;Schneier, Wexler, & Liebewitz, 1997;Weber & Smith, 1990). Numerous standardized scales, equipment measuring emotional arousal, heart rate, blood pressure, and skin conductance, personality inventories, subjective ratings, sensitivity, avoidance, stress, and distress scales are used to evaluate both state and trait anxiety in persons who stutter.…”

High levels of anxiety can negatively affect the lives of children and adolescents. Thirty-six adolescents who stutter and 36 adolescents who do not stutter were administered standardized scales for anxiety and self-esteem. Significant differences were found for the total T-scores for Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale for the two groups, although both groups mean T-scores were within normal range. Eighty-three percent of adolescents who stutter and 95% of adolescents who do not stutter earned scores in the normal range. No significant differences were found on the self-esteem scale, with 86% of adolescents who stutter and 97% of adolescents who do not stutter earning scores in the normal/positive range. Adolescents who stutter with co-occurring disorders displayed significantly higher levels of anxiety than adolescents who stutter with no co-occurring disorders. No significant differences were found between groups on ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender and anxiety levels. A positive, significant correlation between anxiety scores and self-esteem scores was found for both groups.Learning outcomes: Readers will learn about and understand (a) the role of anxiety and selfesteem in stuttering; (b) the methods used to evaluate anxiety and self-esteem in adolescents; and (c) the similarities between adolescents who stutter and adolescents who do not stutter on anxiety and self-esteem scales. #

“…There is strong evidence that adults who stutter display significant levels of social anxiety and social phobia (Kraaimaat et al, 2002;Messenger et al, 2004;Schneier et al, 1997;Stein et al, 1996) in addition to speech-related state anxiety (Iverach et al, 2011), such that these emotional symptoms are often treated alongside the disrupted speech patterns (e.g., Menzies et al, 2008). However, even in light of recent attention, the relationship between the multi-dimensional facets of anxiety and stuttering remains unclear (Ingham, 1984;Iverach et al, in press;Menzies et al, 1999).…”
