Previous research has indicated that attitude change generally follows behavior change in operant stuttering therapy programs. This study sought to examine the longterm therapy outcome of stutterers whose communication attitudes were not substantially normalized after fluency establishment and generalization. Posttransfer attitude scores of 20 stutterers were used to classify them into one of two groups: those whose communication attitudes had been modified to show less abnormality than the mean level for normal speakers, and those whose attitudes had not. Follow-up interviews with the 20 stutterers one year later indicated that those whose posttransfer attitudes were not substantially normalized stuttered significantly more. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.
先前的研究表明，在操作性口吃治疗方案中，态度改变通常发生在行为改变之后。本研究旨在考察那些在流畅性建立和泛化后沟通态度未得到实质性正常化的口吃者的长期治疗效果。20名口吃者的转移后态度得分被用于将他们分为两组：一组是沟通态度已得到改善，异常程度低于正常说话者的平均水平；另一组则未得到改善。一年后对这20名口吃者进行的随访访谈表明，转移后态度未得到实质性正常化的口吃者口吃的情况明显更严重。文中讨论了其理论和临床意义。
