This study examined the relationship of self-reported anxiety and vulnerability to bullying for 18 children who stuttered and 18 children who did not stutter. More children who stuttered were at significantly higher risk of experiencing bullying behavior (61%) than children who did not stutter (22%); 39% of children who stuttered scored at least one standard deviation above the mean on the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale, suggestive of higher anxiety. In contrast, only 6% of children who did not stutter scored at least one standard deviation above the mean. The correlation was .82 for children who stuttered between greater vulnerability to bullying and self-reported anxiety. A bidirectional relationship is hypothesized between high anxiety and bullying of children who stutter.
本研究调查了18名口吃儿童和18名非口吃儿童自我报告的焦虑与受欺凌易感性之间的关系。与非口吃儿童（22%）相比，更多的口吃儿童遭受欺凌行为的风险显著更高（61%）；39%的口吃儿童在修订版儿童显性焦虑量表上的得分至少比平均分高出一个标准差，这表明他们的焦虑程度更高。相比之下，只有6%的非口吃儿童得分至少比平均分高出一个标准差。口吃儿童中，受欺凌易感性与自我报告的焦虑之间的相关性为0.82。研究推测，口吃儿童的高焦虑与受欺凌之间存在双向关系。
