“…Research, however, is limited in this area. Much of the existing research on stuttering and African Americans has focused on prevalence data and speech behavior differences (Leith & Mims, 1975;Olsen, Steelman, Buffalo, & Montague, 1999;Robinson & Crowe, 1987), rather than identity and life experiences. In order to appropriately address this issue, an approach is needed to explore identity and life experiences.…”

“…The role of culture in stuttering has been addressed many times in various research articles and studies across the decades (Cooper & Cooper, 1998;Johnson, 1944;Leith, 1986;Leith & Mims, 1975;Olsen, Steelman, Buffalo, & Montague, 1999;Robinson & Crowe, 1998;Shames, 1989). However, as Shames (1989) suggested, limited research has examined cultural issues of people who stutter of historically disadvantaged race-ethnic groups.…”

“…However, as Shames (1989) suggested, limited research has examined cultural issues of people who stutter of historically disadvantaged race-ethnic groups. Most of the research for these groups has focused on prevalence data and speech behavior differences (Johnson, 1944;Leith & Mims, 1975;Olsen, Steelman, Buffalo, & Montague, 1999). In addition, little attention has been given to how the interaction of race and communication affects the ways in which people who stutter of historically disadvantaged race-ethnic groups think about identity and life choices.…”

“…Younger participants also felt that stuttering had a greater overall impact on their lives. Interestingly, studies of children who stutter have often reported little to no significant difference in the stuttering events of African American children and White children (Olsen et al (1999). Similarly, when queried about their own confidence and social acceptance, young children who stutter reported no difference when compared to children who did not stutter (Hertsberg & Zebrowksi, 2016).…”

Purpose: Myriad studies have endeavored to determine why people stutter. It has been suggested that prior experiences, self-perceptions, specific cognition abilities (i.e., executive functions), and/or whether a person perceives their stuttering to be controlled internally or externally can provide insight into stuttering behaviors. What is not known is whether a relationship exists between these variables has more influence on persons who stutter than another. This preliminary study used the Locus of Control of Behavior scale (LCB; Craig et al., 1984), Overall Assessment of the Speaker’s Experience of Stuttering; (OASES; Yaruss & Quesal, 2006, Yaruss & Quesal, 2008), and the Comprehensive Executive Function Inventory, (CEFI-A-SR; Naglieri & Goldstein, 2013) to better understand what relationships, if any, exist between locus of control of behavior, stuttering experiences, and executive functions in persons with fluency disorders.Method: A total of 116 adults who stutter completed online surveys which included demographic questions, the LCB, OASES, and CEFI-A-SR.Results: Self-monitoring was the lone executive function scale score demonstrating a relationship to LCB and OASES scores.Conclusions: An internal control of behavior and positive outlook on stuttering experiences as well as a sense of effective self-monitoring may be required for a person to manage stuttering behaviors effectively.

“…In spite of the changing demographics of caseloads and the general agreement of clinicians and researchers about the need for cultural responsiveness in assessment and treatment of stuttering, the majority of research in CWS has focused on predominantly White, non-Hispanic persons, excluding the samples' racial and cultural identities (Conrad & Seymour;1998;Finn & Cordes, 1997;Goldstein, 2000;Guitar, 2006;Manning, 2002;Robinson & Crowe, 1998Shapiro, 1999). It is interesting that reports of higher incidences of stuttering in African Americans when compared with Whites have been published (Brutten & Miller, 1988a, 1988bOlsen, Steelman, Buffalo, & Montague, 1999;Robinson, Davis, & Crowe, 2000). Robinson and Crowe (2002) reported that racial and cultural attitudes, myths and beliefs about etiology, and religious values and practices could influence seeking clinical services for fluency disorders.…”

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the influence of racial and ethnic backgrounds in children who stutter (CWS) with 18 specific coexisting disorders. A sample of 1,184 speech-language pathologists responded to a detailed questionnaire designed to answer questions about the type and prevalence of coexisting disorders in 2,535 CWS. Results suggest that 866 (34.1%) children from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds displayed six major coexisting disorders: learning disabilities, literacy disorders, attention deficit disorders, auditory processing disorders, neuropsychological disorders, and behavioral disorders. Measures of risk, relative risks, and odds ratio for racial and ethnic differences among groups of CWS were calculated. African American CWS show a higher risk for coexisting learning disabilities, literacy disorders, attention deficit disorders, and behavioral disorders than White, non-Hispanic, Hispanic, and Asian CWS. Males who stutter had a significantly greater number of coexisting disorders than females who stutter. A number of alternative interpretations are presented.
