Publisher: Time, 2005ISSN: 1522-323X;.Subject(s): Bashfulness | Behavior therapy | Psychology -- Research | Serotonin | Social phobiaDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Few things say 'forget I'm here' quite so eloquently as the pose of the shy--the averted gaze, the hunched shoulders, the body pivoted away from the crowd. Shyness is a state that can be painful to watch, worse to experience and, in survival terms at least, awfully hard to explain. In a species as hungry for social interaction as ours, a trait that causes some individuals to shrink from the group ought to have been snuffed out pretty early on. Yet shyness is commonplace." (TIME) This article addresses shyness and notes that researchers are "coming to understand what a complex, and in some ways favorable, state shyness can be."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
