Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate, longitudinally, interruption behavior which children who do stutter (CWS), children who do not stutter (CWNS) and their mothers and relationship with disfluency of children showed during interactions with their mothers. Subjects for this study consisted of 2-5 year old CWS (male 2 and female 4), an age-matched group of CWNS (male 3 and female 3), and their mothers. Frequencies of normal disfluency (ND) and abnormal disfluency (AD) in children group and frequency of interruption and simultalk duration in children and mothers group were measured two times (initial visit and 12 months later) over the course of one year. As a result, no significant difference was observed in frequency of interruption and simultalk duration both between two mother groups and between two child groups at initial visit and 12 months later. However, frequency of interruption increased significantly over the course of one year in CWS group. A significant group difference was found in frequency of interruption of mothers but, no significant difference was observed in simultalk duration of mothers at initial visit. In the CWS·mothers group, no factors were related with disfluency of children at initial visit and 12 months later. These findings suggest that interruption is not just negative behavior, and that reducing interruption should be considered in child·parent interaction therapy for CWS.

본 연구는 학령전 말더듬아동과 어머니의 자연스러운 상호작용에서 나타나는 아동과 어머니의 끼어들기 특성을 분석하고 아동의 비유창성과의 관련성을 종단적으로 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 만 2-5세 말더듬아동과 어머니 6쌍, 일반아동과 어머니 6쌍을 대상으로 하였다. 자연스러운 상호작용 상황에서 나타난 발화를 총 두 차례(평가 시점, 평가 후 12개월 시점) 수집하여 아동의 ND(normal disfluency) 빈도와 AD(abnormal disfluency) 빈도, 아동과 어머니의 끼어들기 빈도 및 끼어들기 시 동시에 말한 시간을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, (1) 평가시점에 말더듬아동 집단과 일반아동 집단 간에 비유창성 빈도에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. (2) 평가 시점과 평가 후 12개월 시점에 말더듬아동 집단과 일반아동 집단 간의 끼어들기 빈도와 끼어들기 시 동시에 말한 시간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 그러나 말더듬아동 집단은 평가 시점보다 평가 후 12개월 시점에 끼어들기 빈도가 유의하게 증가하였다. (3) 평가 시점에 말더듬아동 어머니 집단과 일반아동 어머니 집단 간 끼어들기 빈도에서 유의한 차이가 나타났으나 끼어들기 시 동시에 말한 시간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. (4) 말더듬아동·어머니 집단에서 시점별(평가 시점, 평가 후 12개월 시점) 아동의 비유창성 빈도와 아동과 부모의 끼어들기 특성 간 상관관계를 살펴본 결과, 평가 시점과 평가 후 12개월 시점에서 아동의 ND 및 AD 빈도와 상관관계를 보인 요인은 없었다. 이러한 결과는 아동과 부모의 상호작용 시 나타나는 끼어들기 특성을 대화 상대방의 발화를 방해하는 부정적인 상호작용의 증거로 해석하여 말더듬아동·부모 상호작용 치료 시 끼어들기 행동에 대한 조언이 적절한지에 대해 고려해볼 필요가 있음을 시사한다.
