Previous research has not explored the Five Factor Model of personality among adults who stutter. Therefore, the present study investigated the five personality domains of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness, as measured by the NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), in a sample of 93 adults seeking speech treatment for stuttering, and compared these scores with normative data from an Australian and a United States sample. Results revealed that NEO-FFI scores for the stuttering group were within the 'average' range for all five personality domains. However, adults who stutter were characterized by significantly higher Neuroticism, and significantly lower Agreeableness and Conscientiousness, than normative samples. No significant differences were found between groups on the dimensions of Extraversion and Openness. These results are discussed with reference to the relationship between personality factors among adults who stutter, their directionality, and implications for predicting treatment outcome.
The reader will be able to: (1) describe the Five Factor Model of personality, including the NEO-FFI personality domains of Extraversion, Neuroticism, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness, and (2) discuss differences in NEO-FFI domain scores between adults who stutter and normative samples, and (3) understand the clinical implications of personality profiles in terms of treatment process and outcome for adults who stutter.
以往的研究尚未探讨口吃成年人的人格五因素模型。因此，本研究通过大五人格量表（NEO-FFI）对93名寻求口吃言语治疗的成年人样本进行测量，调查了神经质、外向性、开放性、宜人性和尽责性这五个人格领域，并将这些分数与来自澳大利亚和美国样本的常模数据进行比较。结果显示，口吃组的NEO-FFI分数在所有五个人格领域的“平均”范围内。然而，口吃成年人的神经质得分显著高于常模样本，宜人性和尽责性得分显著低于常模样本。在外向性和开放性维度上，两组之间未发现显著差异。本文将结合口吃成年人的人格因素之间的关系、其方向性以及对预测治疗结果的影响来讨论这些结果。
读者将能够：（1）描述人格五因素模型，包括外向性、神经质、开放性、宜人性和尽责性的NEO-FFI人格领域；（2）讨论口吃成年人与常模样本在NEO-FFI领域得分上的差异；（3）理解人格特征在口吃成年人治疗过程和结果方面的临床意义。
