The monolingual students in Tehran and bilingual students in Ardebil comprised the population, out of which a sample of the 550 bilinguals (275 females and 275 males) and 550 monolinguals (275 females and 275 males) were selected using multistage cluster sampling. Methods: This fundamental research employed analytical-descriptive method and Chi-square and Logistic regression were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that there exists a statically significant difference between bilinguals and monolinguals with regard to the incidence of stuttering (level=0.001).
