Abstract

The main goal of this study was to compare social stress and sensitivity to rejection in students with and without stuttering. The method of this study was causal-comparative. The statistical population included all students with stuttering according to DSM-5 in which 20 students with stuttering were selected using census sampling method and 20 normal subjects were selected by the random sampling. Then, they responded to Watson and Friend avoidance and social turmoil scale questionnaires and Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire (RSQ). Data were analyzed using the analysis of variance method and SPSS software. Results showed that individuals with stuttering had higher scores in social pressure, fear of negative evaluation, social anxiety and sensitivity to rejection than normal ones. The results of Wilks Lambda test showed that 71% of the difference between the two groups was determined by social pressure and sensitivity to rejection. Therefore, students with stuttering are exposed to increase their problems and frustration because of social pressures that they endure as well as sensitivity to rejection.
