Male versus Female Attitudes toward Stuttering
St. Louis, Kenneth O.
Journal of Communication Disorders, v45 n3 p246-253 May-Jun 2012
Purpose: The study investigated the extent to which differences existed between public attitudes of males versus females. Method: One hundred adults, 50 males and 50 females, were chosen at random from each of 50 study samples comprising a total of 3371 respondents in a database archive who had completed the "Public Opinion Survey of Human Attribute-Stuttering (POSHA-S)". None of the database samples included speech-language pathology students/practitioners or self-identified people who stutter. Results: Public attitudes were very similar between male and female respondents. None of the standard "POSHA-S" comparisons were significantly different statistically, even though a few trends for differences were observed between the males and females. Conclusions: Attitudes as toward stuttering of adult males and females, as measured by the "POSHA-S," are very similar. Learning outcomes: Readers of this article should be able to: describe the framework for reporting the results of the "Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S)"; describe similarities and differences between attitudes toward stuttering of adult males and females on the "POSHA-S." (Contains 1 table and 6 figures.)
