Comparison of body image dissatisfaction among adolescent boys who do and do not stutter and investigating the relationship between body image dissatisfaction, anxiety and Self-assessed stuttering severity
A significant positive correlation was found between self-assessed stuttering severity, anxiety (particularly social anxiety), and body image dissatisfaction in adolescent boys. Therefore, the measurement of anxiety and body image dissatisfaction seems to be of particular importance in adolescent boys with moderate to high self-assessed stuttering severity.
