The primary purpose of this study was to assess whether kindergarten through twelfth grade teachers differ from people in non-teaching occupations in their reactions to people who stutter (PWS). Taking differences in age and education into account, we compared reactions to PWS between 263 teachers and 1336 non-teachers in the United States based on their responses on the Public Opinion Survey on Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S, St. Louis, 2012). Findings indicated that teachers use a greater number and variety of information sources about PWS than the general public and that male teachers do so even more than female teachers. With regard to the other POSHA-S components, accommodating/helping, knowledge/experience, and sympathy/social distancing of PWS, teachers' responses were not significantly different from their non-teaching counterparts. Regardless of occupation, women reported reactions to PWS that are considered more accommodating and helpful to PWS than the reported reactions of men.
Readers should be able to: (1) identify the challenges that students who stutter encounter in the K-12 school setting, (2) identify recommended ways teachers can react to their students who stutter, (3) summarize findings regarding teachers' reactions to people who stutter (PWS), and (4) identify key variables that are associated with reactions to PWS.
本研究的主要目的是评估幼儿园至十二年级的教师在对口吃者（PWS）的反应上是否与非教师职业的人有所不同。考虑到年龄和教育程度的差异，我们根据美国263名教师和1336名非教师对《人类属性口吃民意调查》（POSHA-S，圣路易斯，2012年）的回答，比较了他们对口吃者的反应。研究结果表明，教师比普通公众使用更多种类的关于口吃者的信息来源，而且男教师比女教师使用得更多。关于POSHA-S的其他组成部分，即对口吃者的接纳/帮助、知识/经验以及同情/社交距离，教师的回答与非教师职业的人没有显著差异。无论职业如何，女性对口吃者的反应被认为比男性报告的反应更具接纳性和帮助性。
读者应该能够：（1）识别口吃学生在K-12学校环境中遇到的挑战，（2）识别教师对其口吃学生的推荐反应方式，（3）总结教师对口吃者反应的研究结果，以及（4）识别与对口吃者反应相关的关键变量。
