Using a grounded theory approach, four clusters were identified that represent patterns of coping by adults who stutter. In order to understand the complexities within the coping responses of speakers to the experience of stuttering, this first of two companion papers summarizes the literature on the human coping response to stress and the nature of two of the four main findings identified. These findings describe a coping process that emphasizes strategies of protecting both the speaker and the listener from experiencing discomfort associated with stuttering. The companion paper describes the remaining two main findings that emphasize the characteristics of self-focused and action oriented coping responses.
The reader will be able to: (1) describe, from the perspective of a select group of adults who stutter, the themes associated with the process of coping with stuttering, (2) describe the basic rationale for the procedures associated with grounded theory methods, (3) describe the factors that influence the choice to use emotion-focused and problem-focused coping strategies, and (4) explain the factors that contribute to the use of methods of escape.
采用扎根理论方法，识别出了四个集群，它们代表了口吃成年人的应对模式。为了理解说话者对口吃经历的应对反应中的复杂性，这两篇配套论文中的第一篇总结了关于人类应对压力反应的文献以及所确定的四个主要发现中的两个的性质。这些发现描述了一个应对过程，该过程强调保护说话者和听众免受与口吃相关的不适体验的策略。配套论文描述了其余两个主要发现，它们强调以自我为中心和以行动为导向的应对反应的特征。
读者将能够：（1）从一组特定的口吃成年人的角度描述与应对口吃过程相关的主题，（2）描述与扎根理论方法相关程序的基本原理，（3）描述影响选择使用以情绪为中心和以问题为中心的应对策略的因素，以及（4）解释促成使用逃避方法的因素。
