Abstract
The current study recorded prevalence of social phobia (SP) in adults who stutter (AWS) and examined relationships between affective, behavioral and cognitive (ABC) experiences of stuttering and SP. Forty-one participants met thresholds for social anxiety disorder. A model containing all ABC experiences of stuttering positively predicted levels of SP. Individual factors, including situation-specific speaking-related anxiety and communication attitude, positively predicted SP. One’s indications of situation-speech disruption had a negative predictive
relationship with SP, while AWS’ engagement in behaviors of avoidance/escape from stuttering did not significantly predict social anxiety.
