Summary
People who stutter (PWS) with more negative communication attitudes tend to be more introverted. Conversely, PWS with positive attitudes are more extraverted, highlighting the link between personality and communication in stuttering.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Speech and Language Pathology
Background:
- Communication attitude is a key factor in speech impairment.
- Personality traits, such as extraversion, may influence communication behaviors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the correlation between extraversion and communication attitude in people who stutter (PWS).
Main Methods:
- Thirty PWS completed the Erickson's Communication Attitude Scale (S-24).
- Participants also completed a Dutch adaptation of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory extraversion scale.
Main Results:
- A significant correlation was found between communication attitude and extraversion scores.
- Individuals with more negative communication attitudes exhibited more introverted traits.
- Individuals with more positive communication attitudes displayed more extraverted traits.
Conclusions:
- The S-24 scale is sensitive to both communication attitude and the degree of extraversion in PWS.
- Assessment of communication attitude in PWS should consider personality factors like extraversion.
