Shyness and Self-Esteem in Early Childhood.

Kemple, Kristen M.

Journal of Humanistic Education and Development, v33 n4 p173-82 Jun 1995

Relationships were examined between measures of shyness and self-esteem for 53 preschool children. Shyness was negatively related to a self-esteem rating and to a measure of the child's expectations of self-efficacy in performing motor tasks. Continued attention to early shyness in empirical, theoretical, and practical work is suggested. (Author)
