“…M. Silverman, 1976). In particular, a large number of studies have documented the negative attitudes of people who communicate with individuals who stutter (Collins & Blood, 1990;Guntupalli, Everhart, Kalinowski, Nanjundeswaran, & Saltuklaroglu, 2007;Hughes, Gabel, Irani, & Schlagheck, 2010;Panico, Healey, Brouwer, & Susca, 2005;Patterson & Pring, 1991;Susca & Healey, 2001;Woods & Williams, 1976). Although the cause of these negative attitudes may be multifactorial, many studies have shown an association between the severity of the presenting symptoms with the impressions of the communication partner (Altenberg & Ferrand, 2006;Blood, Blood, & Danhauer, 1978;Panico et al, 2005).…”

“…Undergraduate students who express negative perceptions of people who stutter, in part attribute their attitudes to the amount of effort required to communicate with an individual who stutters (Hughes et al, 2010). Among university students, biases toward individuals who stutter can be attenuated when the listener believes that the speaker is involved in therapy, or when stuttering severity is reported to be mild (Gabel, 2006).…”

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.

“…As in other studies, the teachers’ knowledge about the cause of stuttering was highly variable and typically not accurate. Hughes, Gabel, Irani, and Schlagheck () studied university students and documented clear negative effects of stuttering on lives of those who stutter and about the possible difficulties they would encounter when they stuttered. In interviews, stuttering participants identified more problems and barriers as a result of their stuttering than positive aspects.…”

Although generally typical of other Western societies studied, attitudes of adolescents and adults from Poland were notably different in some ways, such as in the beliefs that emotional trauma or viruses and disease can cause stuttering as well as in the self reaction that they would feel uncomfortable speaking with a stuttering person. Overall, social exclusion and stigma are as likely among Poles who stutter as among most other populations studied.
