Thirty-six speech-language pathologists participated in a study to evaluate clinicians' preconceptions of persons who stutter. Each rated a designated construct (the normally fluent individual, the mild stutterer, the moderate stutterer, the severe stutterer) using a personality trait scale. Results indicated that clinicians stereotypically assign negative personality traits to all levels of stuttering severity relative to normal. Their ratings further demonstrated that stutterers are generally considered to be a homogenous group. Differentiation amongst stutterers was made only between the polar ends of the stuttering severity continuum (that is, mild vs. severe). Clinicians' sterotypical trait assignment was not related to their professional experience. Results are discussed with reference to their clinical implications.
三十六位言语语言病理学家参与了一项研究，以评估临床医生对口吃者的先入之见。每位参与者使用人格特质量表对一个指定的概念（正常流利者、轻度口吃者、中度口吃者、重度口吃者）进行评分。结果表明，相对于正常人，临床医生刻板地将负面人格特质赋予所有口吃严重程度的人群。他们的评分进一步表明，口吃者通常被视为一个同质群体。口吃者之间的区分仅在口吃严重程度连续体的两极之间（即轻度与重度）。临床医生的刻板特质分配与他们的专业经验无关。文中参照其临床意义对结果进行了讨论。
