  "abstract": "Purpose: The current study used autonomic responses (heart rate, skin conductance) as measures of implicit reactions to stuttering to determine whether previous reports of more positive listener reactions to disclosed stuttering are mirrored in autonomic reactions.\n\nMethod: Participants (N = 48) viewed videos of non-stuttered speech as well as stuttered speech preceded by either a neutral statement, an informational self-disclosure, or an apologetic self-disclosure. Participants completed behavioral ratings (semantic differential rating scales and the Self-Assessment Manikin) following each video, with heart rate and skin conductance recorded throughout.\n\nResults: Autonomic signals did not differ across disclosure conditions, but demonstrated a clear order effect. The first presentation of stuttering elicited a large heart rate deceleration and increased skin conductance while successive stuttering presentations elicited smaller heart rate decelerations and a reduction in skin conductance. Explicit reactions were more negative for stuttered compared to non-stuttered speech, with stuttering preceded by informational disclosure rated as more soothing than undisclosed stuttering or apologetically disclosed stuttering.\n\nConclusion: Explicit reactions to stuttering may be influenced by disclosure, while implicit autonomic reactions to stuttering are sensitive to recent stuttering exposure rather than disclosure. Findings are interpreted to suggest that disclosure and repeated exposure to stuttering may influence distinct channels of listener reactions.",
