“…The fact that stuttering frequency did not influence whether the peer would be a personal friend or be included in their group of friends is similar to Blood, Blood, Tellis, and Gabel (2003) who found 54% of young adolescents who stutter reported that their stuttering never affected whether people wanted to be their friend. In terms of how comfortable middle school students felt listening and talking with the peer who stuttered, the findings are similar to Healey, Gabel, Daniels, and Kawai (2007), Panico et al (2005) and who found the frequency of an adult's stuttering did not influence how comfortable listeners were listening to stuttering. The same finding was found for the elementary schoolage children in the Przymus (2002) study and middle school students' verbal comments relative to how comfortable they felt listening to a peer who stutters in the Evans et al (2007) study.…”

“…In many of the previous studies that have examined social and cognitive impressions of individuals who stutter, negative impressions of individuals who stutter were generated when people were told to hypothetically imagine a person who stutters (Woods and Williams, 1976; Woods, 1978; St. Louis and Lass, 1981; Doody et al, 1993; Gabel, 2006). Others (e.g., Healey et al, 2007; Flynn and St. Louis, 2011) demonstrated that listeners express similar negative perceptions of individuals who stutter when they are presented with video or audio recordings of an individual speaking. However, even in these cases, listeners are informed that the speaker is an individual who stutters.…”

Social and Cognitive Impressions of Adults Who Do and Do Not Stutter Based on Listeners' Perceptions of Read-Speech Samples

et al. 2017

Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by frequent and involuntary disruptions during speech production. Adults who stutter are often subject to negative perceptions. The present study examined whether negative social and cognitive impressions are formed when listening to speech, even without any knowledge about the speaker. Two experiments were conducted in which naïve participants were asked to listen to and provide ratings on samples of read speech produced by adults who stutter and typically-speaking adults without knowledge about the individuals who produced the speech. In both experiments, listeners rated speaker cognitive ability, likeability, anxiety, as well as a number of speech characteristics that included fluency, naturalness, intelligibility, the likelihood the speaker had a speech-and-language disorder (Experiment 1 only), rate and volume (both Experiments 1 and 2). The speech of adults who stutter was perceived to be less fluent, natural, intelligible, and to be slower and louder than the speech of typical adults. Adults who stutter were also perceived to have lower cognitive ability, to be less likeable and to be more anxious than the typical adult speakers. Relations between speech characteristics and social and cognitive impressions were found, independent of whether or not the speaker stuttered (i.e., they were found for both adults who stutter and typically-speaking adults) and did not depend on being cued that some of the speakers may have had a speech-language impairment.

“…Research on auditory-perceptual ratings of speech disorders has provided some evidence of listener burden as a unique construct (Beukelman et al, 2011; Healey, Gabel, Daniels & Kawai, 2007; Whitehill & Wong, 2006). In the fluency literature, the social validity of treatment is sometimes measured in terms of “listener comfort,” although this term is usually not specifically defined (Evans, Healey, Kawai & Rowland, 2008; O’Brien, Packman, Onslow, Cream, O’Brian & Bastock, 2003).…”
