目的本研究旨在确定是否自我报告的气质特征区分口吃的成年人（AWS）和不口吃的成年人（AWNS）。此外，气质和口吃频率之间的关联，气质和口吃的生活质量的影响，进行了调查，在AWS。Methodself-reported气质特征记录为33 AWS和43 AWNS使用成人气质问卷（ATQ）。口吃对生活质量的影响是使用说话者口吃经历的总体评估进行评估的。口吃频率从100字独白和阅读samples.ResultsA组间差异的分数上的ATQ积极的影响分量表名义上是显着的（即，在校正多次测试之前），并且在Bonferroni校正之后也接近统计学显著性。AWS的积极影响分数较低，这种趋势效应的大小是中等的。在AWS中，在Bonferroni校正后，发现说话者口吃经历的总体评估的一般信息部分的影响分数与ATQ挫折子量表分数之间存在统计学显著的正相关性。气质特征和口吃frequency.ConclusionsResults之间没有发现任何关联揭示了一个不平凡的倾向AWS的经验减少积极的影响相比，AWNS。此外，研究发现，挫折感的增加与AWS中有关口吃的一般知识的减少有关。这两种影响以前都没有报道过成人或儿童口吃。最后，没有发现自我报告的气质特征与成年人的口吃频率有关，这与AWS之前的结果一致。
PurposeThe study aim was to determine whether self-reported temperament traits differentiate adults who stutter (AWS) from adults who do not stutter (AWNS). Additionally, associations between temperament and stuttering frequency, and between temperament and quality of life impacts of stuttering, were investigated in AWS.MethodSelf-reported temperament traits were documented for 33 AWS and 43 AWNS using the Adult Temperament Questionnaire (ATQ; ). Quality-of-life impacts of stuttering were assessed using the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience with Stuttering . Stuttering frequency was calculated from 100-word monologue and reading samples.ResultsA between-groups difference in scores on the ATQ Positive Affect subscale was nominally significant (i.e., before correcting for multiple tests) and also approached statistical significance after Bonferroni correction. Positive Affect scores were lower for AWS, and the size of this trending effect was moderate. Within AWS, a statistically significant positive correlation was found between impact scores on the General Information section of the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience with Stuttering and ATQ Frustration subscale scores after Bonferroni correction. No associations were detected between temperament traits and stuttering frequency.ConclusionsResults reveal a nontrivial tendency for AWS to experience decreased positive affect compared to AWNS. In addition, increased frustration was found to be associated with reduced general knowledge about stuttering in AWS. Neither effect has been previously reported for adults or children who stutter. Finally, self-reported temperament traits were not found to vary with stuttering frequency in adults, consistent with previous results for AWS.
