This study investigates the association between the five-factor model of personality measured by the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering (OASES). The OASES measures the adverse impact of stuttering on a person's life.
Participants in the present study were 112 persons who stutter from Germany.
All participants filled in both the NEO-FFI and the OASES questionnaires.
Results revealed a strong positive correlation between the personality trait Neuroticism and scores on the OASES. Moreover, Extraversion was negatively correlated with the OASES scores.
The findings suggest that people with higher Neuroticism and lower Extraversion scores experience a greater impact of stuttering on their daily life. The results underscore the importance of considering personality as a potential moderator or mediator factor in future stuttering research and, potentially, also in treatment.
The reader will learn (a) about the different personality dimensions reflected by the NEO-FFI, (b) why it is important to consider the impact of stuttering on everyday life from the perspective of the people who stutter and (c) how personality is linked to the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering (OASES).
本研究调查了人格的五因素模型与演讲者口吃体验综合评估量表（OASES）之间的关联。OASES 衡量口吃对个人生活的负面影响。
本研究的参与者是来自德国的 112 名口吃者。
所有参与者都填写了 NEO 五因素人格量表（NEO-FFI）和 OASES 问卷。
结果显示，神经质人格特质与 OASES 评分之间存在强烈的正相关。此外，外向性与 OASES 评分呈负相关。
这些发现表明，神经质得分较高和外向性得分较低的人，其口吃对日常生活的影响更大。研究结果强调了在未来的口吃研究中，将人格作为潜在的调节或中介因素进行考虑的重要性，并且在治疗中也可能具有重要意义。
读者将了解到：（a）NEO-FFI 反映的不同人格维度；（b）为什么从口吃者的角度考虑口吃对日常生活的影响很重要；（c）人格如何与演讲者口吃体验综合评估量表（OASES）相关联。
