THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE STUTTERING IN THE SOCIAL LIFE
Abstract:
The knowledge of the role which the social factors play within the stuttering has been studied
by the researchers. The various studies were dealing with the social acceptance of the children who
stutter; the temperamental or personality feature; the role of the emotional and environment factors that
keep up the disorder; the perception of the children who do not stutter on the ones who stutter. To watch
the relationship between the stuttering and the issues that generate in the child’s social life, we chose 20
children diagnosed with stuttering, with different severity levels of the disorder (severe, moderate and
mild, depending on the number of the stuttered syllables per minute). We searched into the behaviour of
the children with stuttering through their evaluation by their parents using the CBCL scale (Child
Behaviour Checklist) and through their evaluation by the teachers using the TRF scale (Teacher Report
Form). The results showed that the parents’ evaluation emphasizes the existence of problems at the level
of social competences, and the teachers’ evaluation did not emphasize the studied children’s social
problems.
