Stuttering frequency increased when adults who stuttered interacted with a conversationalist. Stuttering reduced when they were alone again, indicating social interaction impacts stuttering.

Area of Science:

  • Speech and Language Pathology
  • Psychology
  • Communication Sciences

Background:

  • Stuttering is a complex speech disorder.
  • Social interaction is known to influence speech fluency.
  • Understanding factors affecting stuttering frequency is crucial for treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if social conversational situations increase stuttering frequency in adults.
  • To compare stuttering frequency in isolation versus during conversation.

Main Methods:

  • Ten adult stutterers participated.
  • Speech samples were collected while participants were alone.
  • Speech samples were collected during a conversation with an adult male.
  • Stuttering frequency was measured as a percentage of syllables stuttered.

Main Results:

  • Stuttering percentage significantly increased during the conversational condition compared to the initial baseline (alone).
  • Stuttering percentage decreased in the final baseline (alone) condition compared to the conversational condition.
  • The presence of a conversational partner exacerbated stuttering frequency.

Conclusions:

  • Social conversational interaction can increase stuttering frequency in adults who stutter.
  • Reducing social demands may improve fluency for individuals who stutter.
  • Further research into the specific mechanisms of social influence on stuttering is warranted.
