Concepts were measured on a form of semantic differential and repertory grid given to a group of stutterers and non-stutterers. Results supported the hypotheses that people who stutter do not conceptualize themselves as stutterers, but that they see stutterers in the same sort of way as speech experts and laymen do. Implications of this self-versus-behaviour dichotomy are discussed.
