Shyness

            Shyness is a self-conscious act in which a person avoids establishing personal.
             relations with others to avoid notice making them appear to be timid and reserved. It is a.
             common reaction. In 1970, Zimbardo conducted a study to see if this was a prevalent.
             emotion. He asked his subjects if shyness caused discomfort or inhibited them from.
             pursuing their interpersonal or professional goals. Forty percent of the subjects he.
             questioned reported that they were chronically shy (2). A recent survey of a new group of.
             subjects in 1994 showed that this percent had increased to 50 percent (Zimbardo 2). Out.
             of the subjects questioned 13.3 percent had felt their shyness was so debilitating that they.
             had sought medical treatment (2). Only 5 percent believed that they had never felt shy (3). .
             Most of the respondents viewed their shyness as being painful because they did not feel.
             that they were in control of their lives. They believed their shyness made them more.
             ineffective in both their personal and professional interactions with other people.
             In subsequent studies, Ovalsen found that shyness seemed to be more apparent in.
             children than adults ("Guys Guide to Girls"). His subjects believed that most shy children.
             learn to compensate for their shyness and adapt by adjusting their lifestyle to hide their.
             loneliness and anxiety. His studies did not find shyness to be more prevalent in any.
             particular gender reporting that equal numbers of men and women suffer from shyness.
