القلق و الخجل الإجتماعي محددين للتلعثم لدى عينة من الأطفال

Abstract EN

The current study aimed to find out the extent to which both anxiety and social shyness contribute to predict stuttering in children and if stuttering differs according to gender.

The study was applied to a sample
(N = 30) of stuttering children (21 males, 9 females).

The study also used scales of anxiety, social shyness, and symptoms of stuttering, which were prepared by researchers.

The study was conducted during the time period from 3/3/2018 to 12/12.

The sample of the study was chosen from the stuttering children who visit the pediatric clinics at the Psychiatric Center of the Demerdash Hospital and diagnostic tools are applied to them to answer the study questions and achieve their goals and to verify their hypotheses.

The study relied on the descriptive and relational approach as the most effective approach to the objectives of the study.

The results of the study came to confirm the effect of anxiety and shame on stuttering in children.

It was also proved that the hypothesis that stuttering differs according to gender was valid by the prevalence of stuttering in males than in females.
