The present study aims at studying the public attitudes towards stuttering in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Translated Chinese versions of the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S) were distributed to convenience samples in Hong Kong and Mainland China, with a total number of 175 completed questionnaires returned in each sampling region (n 5 350). Mean ratings of respondents from Hong Kong and Mainland China were similar in most comparisons; yet, a few differences were noted. Larger but idiosyncratic differences characterized the Chinese respondents compared to more than 4000 respondents from numerous countries and languages around the world in the POSHA-S database archive. Overall, they documented aspects of stereotypes and potential stigma with respect to people who stutter. While premature to provide unambiguous conclusions, results suggest that Chinese respondents have unique stuttering attitudes.
本研究旨在探究香港和中国大陆公众对口吃的态度。《人类属性——口吃民意调查》（POSHA-S）的中文译本被分发给香港和中国大陆的便利样本，每个抽样地区共回收175份完整问卷（n = 350）。在大多数比较中，香港和中国大陆受访者的平均评分相似；然而，也发现了一些差异。与POSHA-S数据库档案中来自世界众多国家、使用多种语言的4000多名受访者相比，中国受访者的差异更大且具有独特性。总体而言，这些差异记录了对口吃者的刻板印象和潜在污名化的一些方面。虽然现在就得出明确结论还为时过早，但结果表明中国受访者对口吃有着独特的态度。
