Measures of stuttering behavior, personality, and attitudes about speaking were obtained from 20 stutterers at the beginning of treatment. These measures were correlated with three measures of stuttering behavior a year after treatment. Pretreatment attitudes were most highly related to outcome. followed by pretreatment stuttering behavior, and then personality measures. Multiple regression analyses of the pretreatment measures demonstrated that combinations of these variables correlated moderately high (r = 0.79, 0.66, 0.73) with outcome. Prediction equations derived from the multiple regression analyses were used to predict outcomes for an independent group of 18 stutterers. Predicted and actual outcomes were shown to be correlated moderately high (r = 0.75, 0.73, 0.51). Suggestions for clinical use of predictive factors are given. Implications for the design of treatment and understanding the nature of stuttering are discussed.
在治疗开始时，从20名口吃者那里获取了口吃行为、个性以及对说话态度的测量数据。这些测量数据与治疗一年后的三项口吃行为测量数据相关联。治疗前的态度与治疗结果的相关性最高，其次是治疗前的口吃行为，然后是个性测量数据。对治疗前测量数据的多元回归分析表明，这些变量的组合与治疗结果的相关性较高（r = 0.79、0.66、0.73）。从多元回归分析得出的预测方程被用于预测另一组18名口吃者的治疗结果。预测结果与实际结果显示出较高的相关性（r = 0.75、0.73、0.51）。文中给出了预测因素临床应用的建议。还讨论了对治疗设计和理解口吃本质的启示。
