本研究的目的是评估儿童的气质特征谁做（CWS）和不（CWNS）口吃使用常模参考家长报告问卷。参与者为31名CWS和31名CWNS，年龄在3;0（岁;月）和5;4（CWS：平均年龄= 48.03个月; CWNS：平均年龄= 48.58个月）之间。根据年龄（+/-4个月）、性别和种族将CWS与CWNS匹配。所有参与者的言语、语言和听力发展都在正常范围内，CWS的口吃明显例外。采用行为风格问卷（BSQ; S。C. McDevitt & W. B。Carey，1978），由每个孩子的父母完成。基于父母对BSQ的反应的结果表明，与CWNS相比，CWS更容易表现出与过度警惕一致的气质特征（即，注意力不集中）、对变化的不适应性以及不规则的生物功能。研究结果表明，一些气质特征区分CWS从CWNS，可以想象的加剧，以及维护，他们的口吃。
The purpose of this investigation was to assess the temperamental characteristics of children who do (CWS) and do not (CWNS) stutter using a norm-referenced parent-report questionnaire. Participants were 31 CWS and 31 CWNS between the ages of 3;0 (years;months) and 5;4 (CWS: mean age = 48.03 months; CWNS: mean age = 48.58 months). The CWS were matched by age (+/-4 months), gender, and race to the CWNS. All participants had speech, language, and hearing development within normal limits, with the obvious exception of stuttering for CWS. Children's temperamental characteristics were determined using the Behavioral Style Questionnaire (BSQ; S. C. McDevitt & W. B. Carey, 1978), which was completed by each child's parents. Results, based on parent responses to the BSQ, indicated that CWS are more apt, when compared to CWNS, to exhibit temperamental profiles consistent with hypervigilance (i.e., less distractibility), nonadaptability to change, and irregular biological functions. Findings suggest that some temperamental characteristics differentiate CWS from CWNS and could conceivably contribute to the exacerbation, as well as maintenance, of their stuttering.
