Shyness: Anxious Social Sensitivity and Self-Isolating Tendency.

Ishiyama, F. Ishu

Adolescence, v19 n76 p903-11 Win 1984

Used self-ratings to compare 96 shy and nonshy tenth-grade students. The shy group reported significantly more negative self-ratings on loneliness, interference of shyness with academic success and friendships, shyness around the opposite sex, and belief in the noticeability of shyness. There were no significant group differences in self-liking. (JAC)
