Abstract
Theories of shyness have not shown why social anxieties result in reticence and self-consciousness. Conceptualizing shyness as anxious self-preoccupation enables specific predictions to be made about the shy person's reactions to evaluative social situations and points to our ignorance about the role of attentional processes in social interaction.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
