In most Western societies today, where boldness and good self-
esteem are valued, socially fearful behaviors are viewed as a
disadvantage. During adolescence, social participation requires a
good deal of self-confidence and social skills, specifically when
it comes to acquiring and spending time with friends, getting
romantically involved, or having meaningful relationships with
parents. Adolescents go through a number of physical and emotional
changes that make them highly vulnerable for developing shyness.
The effects of shyness on social relationships in adolescence and
vice versa have, nonetheless, been relatively understudied. This
dissertation provides some insights into the lives of shy early
adolescents, showing that both peers and parents may affect shyness
in several negative ways. The shy adolescents were also found to be
active agents in their own lives, as their social fears were
influential in their relationships. On a more positive note,
shyness was protective against involvement in problem behavior.
Even though certain elements of adolescent shyness can make it
unfavorable for the individual, there are also reasons to
appreciate its distinctiveness.
