The purpose of this study was to examine university students' perceptions of an instructor who stutters. Fifty-six undergraduate and 24 graduate students enrolled in speech-language pathology courses evaluated the instructor on a variety of speech-related and personality dimensions. Descriptive statistics for individual survey items, between-groups comparisons, and correlations between pairs of items were calculated. In general, respondents rated the instructor somewhat negatively on several speech skills but positively on most personality characteristics. No statistically significant differences between undergraduate and graduate students' ratings of the instructor were found. Significant correlations were found between the constructs of intelligence and competence, fluency and ease of listening, and fluency and degree of handicap. Results were consistent with previous studies using an actual person who stutters rather than a hypothetical stutterer. Implications for future research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
