Communication attitudes of early school-age children who stutter: Self-assessment and parental evaluation

Summary/Abstract: The primary aim of the study was to determine whether the communication attitudes of early school-age children who stutter differ from those of their fluent-speaking peers, and whether parental assessment of their children’s attitudes toward speaking align with the children’s own self-assessment. A quasi-experimental research design was used, comparing an experimental group with a control group. Two independent variables were determined: speech fluency and the presence of a speech defect, and one dependent variable – the evaluation of communication attitudes. The analysis also examined the average scores of the children from both groups, divided by gender, age, articulation, and – for children who stutter – also by type and severity of stuttering. The findings confirmed that children who stutter hold more negative attitudes toward their own speech compared to their fluent-speaking peers. The study also showed that parental assessments of communication attitudes of children who stutter differ from the children’s self-assessment.
