Abstract

The basic feeling of shyness is universal (Hyson, 1987). Researchers have found that over 40% of North Americans are presently shy and over 80% of the population reported that they have been shy at some point in their lives (Ishiyama, 1984). Zimbardo's survey (cited in Christian, 1982) of 5,000 people from the United States and other countries found shyness to be common and universal. In every culture that he studied, at least 25% of the members considered themselves to be presently shy (Christian, 1982). These and other statistics gathered from self-reports indicate that shyness effects a majority of people at some time in their lives and/or in some situations (Honig, 1987; Ishiyama, 1984).
