Listener perceptions of stuttering significantly impact how speakers are viewed. Increased stuttering levels led to lower listener ratings and fewer positive comments, affecting perceptions of speaker competency and communication ease.

Area of Science:

  • Speech and Hearing Sciences
  • Psycholinguistics
  • Communication Disorders

Background:

  • Listener perceptions of stuttering are crucial for understanding social dynamics.
  • Previous research has not fully explored the nuanced effects of varying stuttering severity on listener judgments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how different levels of simulated stuttering affect listener perceptions.
  • To analyze both quantitative and qualitative listener judgments of speech samples with varying fluency.

Main Methods:

  • Modified a single stuttered speech sample into four levels of stuttering and fluency.
  • Included a nonstuttered sample as a baseline.
  • 60 listeners provided quantitative (Likert scale) and qualitative (commentaries) judgments on one randomly assigned sample.

Main Results:

  • A wide range of listener perceptions were observed across different stuttering levels.
  • Higher levels of stuttering correlated with lower listener ratings and fewer positive comments.
  • Listeners showed distinct preferences between nonstuttered samples differing only in prosody.

Conclusions:

  • Listener perceptions of stuttering are multifaceted and influenced by fluency levels.
  • Speaker competency, perceived listening effort, and communication ease are key factors in global speaker perception.
  • Findings have implications for speech therapy and public awareness regarding stuttering.
