This book examines the adaptive aspects of shyness. It addresses
shyness as a ubiquitous phenomenon that reflects a preoccupation of
the self in response to social interaction, resulting in social
inhibition, social anxiety, and social withdrawal. The volume
reviews the ways in which shyness has traditionally been
conceptualized and describes the movement away from considering it
as a disorder in need of treatment. In addition, it examines the
often overlooked history and current evidence across evolution,
animal species, and human culture, demonstrating the adaptive
aspects of shyness from six perspectives: developmental,
biological, social, cultural, comparative, and evolutionary. Topics
featured in this book include: The study of behavioral inhibition
and shyness across four academic generations. The development of
adaptive subtypes of shyness. Shy children's adaptation to academic
challenges. Adaptiveness of introverts in the workplace. The role
of cultural norms and values in shaping shyness. Perspectives of
shyness as adaptive from Indigenous Peoples of North America. The
role that personality differences play on ecology and evolution.
Adaptive Shyness is a must-have resource for researchers and
professors, clinicians and related professionals as well as
graduate students in developmental psychology, pediatrics, and
social work as well as related disciplines, including
social/personality, evolutionary, biological, and clinical child
psychology, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies.
