The efficacy of stuttering treatment has been a contentious issue in recent years. Two issues of primary concern include the treated stutterer's abnormal speech quality and the problem of continually self-monitoring fluency skills. One approach to addressing these issues is to obtain stutterers' self-ratings of speech quality and levels of speech monitoring. However, the reliability and validity of such self-ratings need to be assessed before they are suitable for use in stuttering treatment. The present study investigated one method of estimating the reliability and validity of stutterers' self-ratings of how natural their speech sounds (speech naturalness), and how natural they feel about the amount of attention they are paying to the way they are speaking (feel naturalness). Twelve adult stutterers were instructed to self-rate the speech and feel naturalness of their speech under a variety of rhythmic stimulation conditions across repeated rating occasions. With some qualifications, the results showed that stutterers were relatively consistent and valid self-raters of speech quality and levels of speech monitoring.
近年来，口吃治疗的疗效一直是一个有争议的问题。两个主要关注的问题包括接受治疗的口吃者异常的语音质量以及持续自我监测流利度技能的问题。解决这些问题的一种方法是获取口吃者对语音质量和语音监测水平的自我评分。然而，在这些自我评分适用于口吃治疗之前，需要评估其可靠性和有效性。本研究调查了一种估计口吃者对其语音听起来有多自然（语音自然度）以及他们对自己说话方式所投入的注意力程度感觉有多自然（感觉自然度）的自我评分的可靠性和有效性的方法。12名成年口吃者被要求在重复评分的各种节奏刺激条件下，对自己的语音和语音感觉自然度进行自我评分。在一些限定条件下，结果表明口吃者在语音质量和语音监测水平方面是相对一致且有效的自我评分者。
