Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Fluency disorders are prominently seen in our society in large. The impact of fluency disorder or stuttering can affect an adult in various ways throughout their life cycle. Because of their stuttering, they develop negative beliefs and attitudes about their speaking and also about themselves. They face various adjustment problems in many areas like society, work place and even in their home etc. They tend to be excessively worried, anxious, nervous and reserved. The present study focuses on the adjustment pattern of adults with fluency disorder. The subjects were 120 male adults (60 stutterers and 60 non stutterers) from different districts of Kerala. The tool used in the present study is The Adjustment Inventory (Adult Form) developed by Hugh M. Bell (1963) to assess the adjustment pattern in adults. The analysis was done in SPSS version 20, and t-test was the main statistical analysis employed. The results showed that the adults with stuttering had lower levels of adjustment pattern than those who do not stutter.
