Causal Attributions of Shy Subjects.

Teglasi, Hedwig; Hoffman, Mary Ann

Journal of Research in Personality, v16 n3 p376-85 Sep 1982

Causal attributions of shy students (N=36) were compared with those of a comparison group of students (N=36) in ten situations. Significant differences between the two groups emerged when explaining outcomes of situations considered to be problematic for shy individuals. Causal attributions may reflect realistic and situation-specific self-perceptions. (Author)
