More than words
Definition of stuttering DSM IV TR: “A communication disorder characterized by excessive involuntary disruptions in the smooth and rythmic flow of speech, particulary when such
disruptions consist of repetitions or prolongation of a sound or a syllable, and when they are accompanied by emotions such as fear and anxiety, and behaviors
such as avoidance and struggle” (APA, 2001)
Complexity of stuttering
Metaphor of the iceberg
Emphasis on observable, external stutter behavior
“What is the influence of thoughts and feelings on people who stutter? Does this internal stutter behavior causes someone who stutters to describe himself as a
stutterer? Does there exist a self-concept of stutterer? And if so, is this image negative?”

Self-esteem
• Development- Sense of self - Cognitive (who am I?)+ affective (+/-) component- ‘Real’ self vs ‘Ideal’ self- Neg evaluations rare in toddlers and young children- Social comparisons increase
• Domain specific- People form an image about their appearance and
their athletic, social and school capacities. - + a global image of personal functioning
![Page 10: A study of the relation between stuttering and self-esteem of adolescents through mediating internal processes, peer group status and the teacher-student](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf65503460f949c5683/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Adolescence
• Cognitive development- More social comparisons- Perspective taking- More formal thinking
=> Consequences:- Worried about attractiveness- Egocentric thinking, very focused on themselves- Strengthened self-consciousness- Diminish the attention on negative aspects (Santrock, 2001)
( i.a. De Wit, Van der Veen, & Slot,1995; Larsen & Buss, 2005; Seifert & Hoffnung, 1991 )
![Page 11: A study of the relation between stuttering and self-esteem of adolescents through mediating internal processes, peer group status and the teacher-student](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf65503460f949c5683/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Stutter research
- Within the development of chronic stutter behavior, experiences with stuttering could leave a mark on someone’s self-esteem.
- Severe communication disorders could have a negative impact on someone’s quality of life.
- Adult research• negative consequences of stuttering, such as anxiety, helplessness,
shame and low self-esteem. • Adult people who stutter experience functional difficulties in
communication and in activities required for their career. - Research on children
• Children who stutter probably have not yet developed a self-image of ‘stuttering’, because of their limited experiences with negative interactions (Green hypothesis).
(i.a. Bajina, 1995; Green, 1998, 1999; Klompas & Ross, 2004; Shames & Rubin, 1986; Shapiro, 1999; Yovetich, Leschied & Flicht, 2000)

Adolescence
When do we notice an influence of stuttering on self-esteem? We need to take a closer look at ‘the period in between’.
• Research in adolescence- Just recently studied as separate group- Blood et al. (2003, 2007): Their stuttering teenagers pointed
out a positive self-image, comparable with their non-stuttering peers.
• Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale = only global self-esteem.• Closeness about their stuttering
- Landera (2004): Little attention on their stutter problem• N=9• Contradictions interviews vs questionnaires
![Page 13: A study of the relation between stuttering and self-esteem of adolescents through mediating internal processes, peer group status and the teacher-student](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf65503460f949c5683/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

MediatorsCould internal factors explain the relationship between stuttering and self-esteem?• Negative communication attitudes (i.a. Vanryckeghem et al., 1995,
1997, 2005; De Nil & Brutten, 1991; Andrews & Cutler, 1974)- Hesitate to take the phone, rather be silent in certain speaking situations ...- At early age already aware of different speech
• Experienced stigma, resulting in closeness about stuttering (Craig et al, 2000; Blood et al., 2003)- People who stutter are described as stupid, shy, ...
• Perfectionism (Amster & Klein, 2004)- less tolerant to errors in their speech,- more concerned to say the wrong things - more intense in their reactions on non fluency- Perfectionism aggravates stuttering- Adaptive vs. maladaptive perfectionism (Stump & Parker, 2000)
![Page 14: A study of the relation between stuttering and self-esteem of adolescents through mediating internal processes, peer group status and the teacher-student](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf65503460f949c5683/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Discussion
• Conclusions- In comparison to young children, we do see an influence of
stuttering on self-esteem in adolescence• Hypothesis Green: more negative experiences? => negative CA: Stuttering has an impact on self-esteem because AWS experience(d) communication situations as negative• Importance of domain specific self-esteem• Maladaptive perfectionism: Stuttering has een impact on self-
esteem because AWS more often are concerned about making mistakes and doubt their actions
- Other mediators:• Stigma / closeness:
• Experienced stigma independent of stutter severity• Effect of stuttering on closeness (cfr. Santrock, 2001)
• Adaptive perfectionism: higher standards in AWS? • Self-protective mechanism??
![Page 26: A study of the relation between stuttering and self-esteem of adolescents through mediating internal processes, peer group status and the teacher-student](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf65503460f949c5683/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Discussion
• Conclusions- Theory: Importance of internal stutter behavior
• Self-concept ‘stutterer’• Emotional and cognitive processes
- Therapy: Challenging negative communication attitudes and perfectionistic thoughts
• More effect on self-esteem (Quality of life) stutter severity• cognitive behavioural therapy + traditional stutter
modification therapy (Amster & Klein, 2007; Blomgren et al., 2005)
=> Reduces stuttering, a perfectionistic attitude and negative attitudes

Contingent self-esteem:
• Depending on reaching certain conditions, outcomes and performances (Kernis, 2002)

Temperament• Guitar (2006) a sensitive temperament
contributes to a vulnerability to the development of stuttering.
• Karass et al (2006): emotional temperament in young stutterers develops after their experiences with stuttering and negative social feedback.- ‘Chicken or the egg’ problem
• Temperamental character traits more present in stuttering children (Boey, 2012)

Social mediators• More likely to be bullied
- Adolescence => greater emphasis on relationships with peers• Negative stereotypes
- Difficulties to adapt, shy, nervous,…- Teachers’ attitudes towards stuttering
• Less important problem, misinformed and stereotypical views, no diff according to experience, (e.g. Abdalla et al, 2012; Pachigar et al, 2012; Lass et al., 1992)
• Increased awareness/knowledge of stuttering leads to a more desirable attitude towards stuttering (Crowe and Walton, 1981)
• Limited research on impact of stuttering on teacher-student relationship- Surprising given the crucial role of the teacher in care policy +
increasing emphasis on action-oriented work (HGW)• A supporting T-S relationship can act as a buffer (Baker, 1998; Werner &
Smith, 1989)
