Abstract

The present research used the Communication Attitude Test (CAT)to study the relation between communication attitude and (a) age (as measured by grade in school) and gender, (b) severity of stuttering according to self-ratings and ratings by others, and self-consciousness about stuttering, and (c) teaching methods used with children who stutter. Participants were children who were between the third grade (elementary school) and the ninth grade (junior high school), 65 of whom stuttered and 365 of whom did not stutter. The children's stuttering was rated by others as mild to moderate; their instruction history was available. The results were as follows: (a) A statistically significant difference was not observed between the communication attitude of the children who stuttered and those who did not. However, the communication attitude of the boys who stuttered was significantly negative compared to the other boys. A statistically significant difference between the children who did and did not stutter was observed on all 12 items of the Communication Attitude Test. (b) A significant relationship was observed between the communication attitude of the children who stuttered and their self-consciousness about stuttering, and between the severity of their stuttering as rated by the children themselves and others' ratings. (c) Communication attitude was significantly positive for those children who had undergone consultation for stuttering and communication-related teaching, in comparison to those children who had not experienced those teaching methods.
