While the difference between the stuttering job candidates who did and did not acknowledge their speech dysfluency was only marginally significant, F (1, 51) = 2.92, p = 0.09, η p 2 = 0.05, for the impression question alone (acknowledgement: M = 5.50, SD = 1.29; no acknowledgement: M = 4.38, SD = 1.66), the difference was significant, F (1, 51) = 7.33, p = 0.01, η p 2 = 0.13.
