“…However, such a class may not have enough of a positive effect on improving beliefs and may not be practical or available for teachers or teachers in training. Informational videos about stuttering, which may be more practical for teachers, have been shown to have little to no effect on teachers' beliefs about PWS (Abdalla and St. Louis, 2014).…”

and Technology for their cooperation in allowing this study on campus. Objectives: The current study explored the attitudes of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) toward stuttering and people who stutter (PWS). Methods: All students in the CSD program from each year level at JUST were invited to participate in the current study. A translated Arabic version of the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S), a standard instrument, was used to compare stuttering attitudes from the four classes and also to compare them to attitudes of similar students and the general population from different countries on the POSHA-S database. Results: Data collected from the CSD students at JUST did not reflect any significant change in students' overall attitudes toward stuttering as they progressed from the 1st through the 4th year. However, they exhibited more positive attitudes than the public in Jordan. Compared to the POSHA-S database, Jordanian attitudes were somewhat less positive than most SLP students sampled in other regions. Conclusion: The current study revealed that students of CSD in Jordan hold less positive attitudes toward stuttering and PWS compared to people from other countries in the same region. Findings are discussed relevant to the literature on attitudes toward stuttering and PWS.

The purpose of this study was to explore the beliefs and assess the level of knowledge about people who stutter (PWS) in the Korean public. Methods: The responses of 298 Korean adults were collected for the 'beliefs about PWS, ' one of the subcategories in the Public Opinion Survey on Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S). The subcategories consisted of four components (traits/personality, help source, cause, and potential). The four components and the 'beliefs about PWS, ' which is the mean score of all components, were analyzed and compared among ages (four groups) and sex. The Alabama Stuttering Knowledge test (ASK) score was also compared. Results: There was no significant interaction or main effect between age and sex for the 'beliefs about PWS' and three of the component (traits/personality, cause, potential) scores. However, age had a significant effect on 'help source, ' where the group over 50 years of age showed a significantly higher mean score than the 20-year-old group. The ASK score did not indicate any effect but there were significant correlations between the ASK and 'cause' scores and the ASK and 'potential' scores. Conclusion: The findings suggest that, regardless of age or sex, beliefs about PWS held by the public were not negative in general, although they were not very knowledgeable about stuttering/PWS. Providing more interpersonal and educational support regarding stuttering would help the public increase their positive beliefs about stuttering.
