TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the perceived communicative competence, self-esteem, and vulnerability to bullying of adolescents who stutter and adolescents who do not stutter, and found that adolescents with low selfesteem and poor confidence in their communicative skills were more likely to experience bullying.

TL;DR: This paper found that adolescents who stutter had significantly higher levels of communication apprehension and poorer scores on self-perceived communication competence when compared with adolescents who do not stutter, and they also had significantly poorer perceptions about their own communication competence on the Talking to Strangers subscore test.

TL;DR: Results revealed that stuttering did not present a stigmatizing condition for the majority (65%) of adolescents who stutter, and the younger adolescents perceived stuttering as a more negative and stigmatized condition than older adolescents.

TL;DR: Initial data provides initial data that supports that people who stutter may suffer from role entrapment related to career choices, and the needs for future research in this area are summarized.

TL;DR: A bidirectional relationship is hypothesized between high anxiety and bullying of children who stutter and greater vulnerability to bullying and self-reported anxiety is hypothesized.
