Abstract
An experimental group of 30 mothers of young male stutterers and a control group of 30 mothers were matched for age, education, size of family, age of children, socio-economic status, religion, psychological guidance, and education of spouses. The USC Maternal Attitude Scale was used for this study, items 59 and 78 being omitted. Mothers of young male stutterers reject their children covertly far more but overtly far less; they accept their children covertly less and overtly only slightly less; they reject their children more than they accept them, while mothers of normal speakers accept their children more than they reject them.
