The Woods and Williams' (1976) study of Iowans' stereotypes about stuttering males was replicated using 11 speech clinicians and 16 classroom teachers in Virginia. Ratings of 23 possible characteristics were obtained for four hypothetical concepts (typical 8-year-old male, typical 8-year-old male stutter, typical adult male, and typical adult male stutterer) using a semantic differential format. The results of the Woods and Williams' (1976) research were confirmed. Stutters were expected by all rating groups to be more nonassertive, tense, insecure, and afraid to talk than nonstutterers. Not only were stereotype differences within professional groups quite small from one geographical region to the other, but classroom teachers held particularly unfavorable stereotypes of the stuttering boy in both studies. These results suggest the possibility that listener reactions could shape the stutterer's behavior.
伍兹和威廉姆斯（1976年）对爱荷华州人关于口吃男性刻板印象的研究，在弗吉尼亚州由11名言语治疗师和16名教师进行了复制。使用语义差异量表，对四个假设概念（典型的8岁男性、典型的8岁口吃男性、典型的成年男性和典型的成年口吃者）的23个可能特征进行了评级。伍兹和威廉姆斯（1976年）的研究结果得到了证实。所有评级组都认为，口吃者比非口吃者更不自信、更紧张、更缺乏安全感，也更害怕说话。不仅不同专业组内的刻板印象差异在不同地理区域间非常小，而且在两项研究中，教师对口吃男孩都持有特别负面的刻板印象。这些结果表明，听众的反应可能会对口吃者的行为产生影响。
