Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the possible presence of differences in emotion-related regulatory strategy types used by preschool-age children who stutter (CWS) and children who do not stutter (CWNS) during a temptation task. Methods: Participants were 13 CWS and 13 CWNS between 3;2 (years;months) and 5;7, matched for gender and age (+/- 6 months). Behavioral coding was based on the participants’ performance in a Forbidden Toy Paradigm, a resistance to temptation task in which the children were asked to refrain from touching a toy. Emotion-related regulation was recognized as (1) verbal regulation, (2) behavioral regulation, or (3) attentional regulation, and was further categorized within each type of regulation. Results: No significant differences were detected in the types of emotion-related regulatory strategies used by CWS, or the frequency of those strategies. Eight of the 13 CWS (62%), in comparison to one of the 13 CWNS (8%), were successful in resisting temptation. Three of the 13 CWS (23%) displayed signs of distress during the task, and none of the CWNS exhibited signs of distress. Discussion: Findings do not indicate differences in emotion-related regulatory strategy use between CWS and CWNS. However, higher levels of resistance to temptation and greater levels of distress in CWS, compared to CWNS, suggest a need for further research.
