Measuring anticipation of stuttering: Validation and revision of the English Premonitory Awareness in Stuttering Scale (PAiS-R)
Purpose
Anticipation of stuttering is experienced by nearly all adults who stutter (AWS). The Premonitory Awareness in Stuttering Scale (PAiS) is an existing tool validated in German and Turkish that measures the intensity of stuttering anticipation. The present study aimed to provide initial validation of the PAiS in English.
Method
A total of 78 AWS (47 males; M = 41.2 years) completed an online English version of the PAiS and rated their stuttering severity on a 9-point Likert scale. Two weeks later, 49 participants completed a retest. A range of psychometric analyses, including principal component analysis (PCA), were performed to assess reliability and structural validity.
Results
The PAiS demonstrated strong internal consistency and test-retest reliability in this initial validation. Item-level analyses and PCA identified weaknesses among four of the 12 scale items.
Conclusions
The English version of the PAiS demonstrated strong psychometric properties, particularly when reduced to eight items. The revised PAiS (PAiS-R) showed good initial reliability and structural validity for measuring anticipation of stuttering among English-speaking AWS. The PAiS-R holds promise as an assessment of anticipation, both clinically and in research settings, although further psychometric evaluation is warranted.
