This article is really interesting and really puts things into perspective as far as why some people are so negatively affected by their stuttering and why others are not. I don’t stutter, but as I was reading this article, I realized I could relate a lot to those who understand fluency as an inherent ability and would be prone to adopt performance goals and thus react with a helpless response when confronted by fluency problems. I think it’s sad/unfortunate that people (including me) would feel this way about difficulty and effort, but I don’t think people realize how they judge themselves and how they perceive their “failures” until it is pointed out to them.
