Many researchers subscribe to the idea that emotions play a crucial role in childhood-onset stuttering (e.g., Choi et al., 2016; A. Smith & Weber, 2017). However, researchers have not explicitly investigated the emotion-related role of appraisal behaviors in the onset, maintenance, and exacerbation of developmental stuttering. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate whether preschool-age children who stutter (CWS) differ in their appraisal of tasks that vary in context (i.e., nonspeech, speech) as well as degrees and types of stress, compared to preschool-age children who do not stutter (CWNS). Sixteen CWS and 16 CWNS (3-5 years old) engaged in four tasks, including a stressful speech task, a nonstressful speech task, a stressful nonspeech task, and a nonstressful nonspeech task. Measures of challenge appraisal and threat appraisal were obtained from self-report, coding of facial emotion, and parent report. CWS and CWNS did not significantly differ in behavioral measures of appraisal during the experimental tasks. However, CWS, compared to CWNS, did score significantly higher on parent-report measures of temperament associated with threat appraisal. Open-ended responses for the rationale of choice of the Control Speech Task were also significantly different, with CWS more often indicating a preference for a task that was "Not a Challenge/Difficult," whereas the rationale from CWNS was related to "Like/Want To" of the task. Findings from this study were mixed, with questionnaire and preference data indicating preschool-aged CWS may be more likely to make threat appraisal rather than challenge appraisals when compared to CWNS.
