| Abstract: | Persons who stutter must conduct their daily lives by interacting with fluent speakers. A majority of fluent speakers, however, are unaware of the communicative behaviors that can increase the frequency and severity of stutterers' dysfluencies. Moreover, extant research is scant regarding the strategies used by fluent speakers to increase interactive satisfaction with persons who stutter. This investigation addresses this void by sharing an empirical study in which stutterers offer the behaviors and strategies which they suggest result in more satisfying communicative interactions among fluent persons and stutterers. |
