Abstract
This study was "an attempt to compare the relative psychological adjustment and personality characteristics of parents of stuttering children (experimental group) and parents of non-stuttering children (control group)." No evidence was found that the etiology of stuttering is based on gross psycho-pathology of the stutterer''s parents. The results are interpreted as supporting the possibility that "such attitudes and adjustments of the parents as may be involved in the etiology of stuttering are probably limited and specific to the speech situation." 18 references.Keywords
