Level of aspiration in female stutterers: changing times?

摘要: In a study designed to cross-check previous finding that females who stutter suffer from markedly low self-esteem and levels of aspiration, 21 female stutters 35 controls were compared on the Rotter Level Aspiration Board. For stutterers, mean D score was +1.46, while for nonstutterers, it +3.11 (t = 2.75; p less than 0.005). It concluded do indeed self-esteem, as reflected in their greater reluctance bid scores promising higher achievement. Comparison 1979 sample with 1955 indicated stutterers may be making some generational gains perhaps reflecting improved status our society.
