| Summary: | The aim of this study is to test the thesis that adults who stutter differ from those without this disorder by lower birth weight and
in terms of personality dimensions, as well as the assertion that prevalence of stuttering is far higher among males.Total sample
consisted of 108 subjects, aged 18 - 50, whereby subsamples consisted of 54 subjects, equaled in gender and age. The Personality
Inventory NEO PI_R (S/A form) was used to examine basic personality dimensions (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness,
Agreeableness and Conscientiousness). The correlation between the gender and stuttering has been established, but no differences
have been found between the birth weights or in terms of basic personality characteristics. Further examinations are needed but
such should be applied to larger representative samples, using more progressive data processing methodology. |
