Emerging evidence suggests that conflicted shyness (combination of shyness and sociability) places individuals at risk for maladjustment in childhood, adolescence, and emerging adulthood. However, it is not known (1) if this risk for maladjustment persists into adulthood, (2) the extent to which it is generalizable to a broad range of adaptive domains, and (3) if there are mechanisms that might underlie the link between the conflicted shyness phenotype and domains of functioning. Here, we find that the combination of shyness and sociability (i.e., conflicted shyness) places individuals in their thirties at the greatest risk for poor functioning across demographic, health, interpersonal, and psychological domains above and beyond shyness alone. We also report that attention and loneliness may be factors that underlie the risk for poor mental health in individuals characterized by conflicted shyness. Our findings extend work on conflicted shyness by considering several domains of functioning beyond emerging...

新兴成年后的害羞与社交能力：对理解害羞亚型发育后代的启示

越来越多的证据表明，害羞相冲突（害羞与社交能力的结合）使个人处于儿童期，青春期和成年期出现适应不良的风险。但是，尚不知道（1）这种失调风险是否持续到成年期；（2）在多大程度上适用于广泛的适应性领域；（3）是否存在可能是两者之间联系的基础的机制。冲突的害羞表型和功能域。在这里，我们发现害羞与社交能力（即害羞冲突）相结合，使三十多岁的个人面临的风险最大的是跨越人口，健康，人际关系和心理领域，而不仅仅是害羞。我们还报告说，注意力和孤独感可能是羞怯自相矛盾的个体心理健康状况较差的风险的基础。我们的发现通过考虑超出新兴领域的几个功能领域，扩展了有关羞怯性冲突的工作。
