This thesis has examined the effects of socioeconomic status and linguistic development upon responses to Dwight Dean's Alienation Scale - an accepted social science research instrument.No significant correlations were found to exist between socioeconomic status and linguistic development and/or responses to the scale.A significant negative correlation was found to exist between linguistic development and responses to two out of three revised alienation subscales derived from the Dear, Scale.The thesis suggests that researchers must be wary of accepting current and future research instruments merely on the basis of reliability data. It also suggests that researchers must seek further understanding of the relationship between linguistic development and responses to social science research instruments.

This thesis explored adolescent nonstutterers' preferences for the stuttering control patterns: bounce, prolongation, light contact, and conversational rate control. A videotape was produced of a black and white speaker imitating stuttering and portraying the four control patterns. Adolescents viewed the tape in small groups and rated the stuttering control patterns on a Likert seven point rating scale according to their degree of preference for each. The conversational rate control pattern was found to be the most preferred method of stuttering control for the adolescent viewer.Analyses of viewer race and socioeconomic status and the interactions between viewer race and speaker race were made also. The significant findings yielded a higher mean rating given to the black speaker by black and white viewers. This finding was interpreted in support of the hypothesis that adolescent peers expect and demand a return to increased fluency more so for a member of the black culture than of a white culture.
