Dear Lindsey, in the paper, the research findings were presented in a simplified manner. People can exhibit both responses about a specific skill. For example, if a person thinks stuttering is half static and half dynamic, the person is going to exhibit both responses. A lot of patients come to therapy being much more helpless than mastery-oriented with regard to stuttering. As the responses are learned, they can be modified. With these cases, I help them to analyze the situations they live with the two responses. So they have both views: what they would do if they act with helpless response and also what they would do if they act with the mastery-oriented one. This helps to clarify the options they have.
