Abstract
44 students enrolled in an introductory course in speech and Brooklyn College were divided into 2 experimental groups who listened to 65 15-second tape recorded speech samples of non-stuttering 4 to 6 year old children. 30 samples showing the most sex ambiguity representing 14 different children were numbered consecutively from 1 to 30 and then divided into 2 series of 15 samples each. Group I of the 44 students was told that the first series was a series of boys and that Series B was a series of girls. Group II was given reversed instructions. Boys were regarded as stutterers slightly more often than girls, but this was not significant. Male subjects tended to make more diagnoses of stuttering than female subjects.
