Social withdrawal in an ecologically salient real-world context
Little research has examined the correlates of children’s social withdrawal in real-world contexts beyond the classroom. Here, we used a surgical setting as an ecologically salient stress model to study one type of social withdrawal: shyness. Participants were 171 children ( M age = 10.1 years, SD age = 1.7, range = 7–13 years, 50.1% boys), who were undergoing elective surgery, and their parents ( M age = 40.7 years, SD age = 6.8, range = 29–59 y…
Shyness Associations With Approach/Avoidance Behaviors in Emerging Adulthood
Previous research has shown that shyness is a risk factor for poor socio‐emotional outcomes, although not all shy adults develop these problematic behaviors. Emotional intelligence (EI) may be one explanatory factor that helps facilitate adaptive social behaviors and buffers against developing internalizing behaviors in some shy individuals. Accordingly, this study investigated whether EI moderated the relation between shyness and social approach…
Shyness Associations With Approach/Avoidance-Related Behaviors in Clinically Anxious Adults in Canada
We explored whether emotional intelligence (EI) and its four dimensions individually promoted approach-related behaviors (i.e., sociability) or mitigated avoidance-related behaviors (i.e., internalizing behaviors) in adults clinically diagnosed with anxiety prior to undergoing cognitive behavioral therapy. Participants were 160 patients ( M age = 39.50 years, SD = 13.65, 28.1% male) who completed online questionnaires related to shyness, EI, soci…
A Cross‐Cultural Study of Different Types of Shyness
Previous studies have shown that the expression of childhood shyness varies across Western and Eastern cultures. This study examined whether two East Asian subtypes of shyness (anxious and regulated) existed in both a Western and East Asian context; and if so, whether there were differences in the relation between these two subtypes and children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors across country. Participants were children aged 8–10 years…
Generational Trends in Children’s Shyness
Sociability across Eastern–Western cultures
In this study, we examined cross‐cultural differences in sociability, a core personality facet of the higher order extraversion trait, which has been reported at lower levels in Eastern versus Western cultures several decades ago. Up until now, however, East–West cultural comparisons on the Western‐defined construct of sociability have been limited, despite the extensive research published on extraversion indicating that this personality dimensio…
Developmental patterns of children's shyness
The dysregulation of social fear has been widely studied in children's shyness, but we know little about how shy children regulate during unfair treatment. We first characterized developmental patterns of children's shyness (N = 304, n girls = 153; 74% White, 26% Other) across 2 (M age = 2.07), 3 (M age = 3.08), 4 (M age = 4.08), and 6 (M age = 6.58) years of age. Data collection occurred from 2007 to 2014. At age 6, the high stable group had hig…
Psychometric perspectives on shyness across the lifespan
This study examined mean-levels of shyness from childhood to senescence. To improve validity in our shyness measure across age, we used two different but comparable shyness scales in adult and child/adolescent datasets that were created separately within a repeated cross-sectional design. In the adult analysis (N = 1,294, ages = 17–86), measurement invariance (through multi-group confirmatory factor analysis and the alignment method) was establis…
Revisiting Shyness and Sociability in Schizophrenia
Although there is a long and rich empirical history of demonstrating differences on psychological self-report measures between people with schizophrenia and healthy controls, the question of whether both groups respond to psychological measures in the same way has gone largely unexplored. That is, is there measurement equivalence, or invariance, across the samples? To our knowledge, there have been no published studies on measurement equivalency …
Social anxiety and alcohol use across the university years
University/college can be a challenging time as students face developmental tasks such as building new social networks and achieving academically. Social anxiety may be disadvantageous in this setting given that social situations often include drinking and individuals with social anxiety tend to self-medicate through alcohol use. However, findings are mixed as to whether the association between social anxiety and alcohol use is positive or negati…
