abstract

• Differences between fearfully and self-consciously shy individuals in self-esteem were investigated. Analysis indicated that fearfully ( n = 45) compared to self-consciously ( n = 40) shy individuals self-reported lower self-esteem. This result suggests that the role cf low self-esteem may be different for each shyness subtype. A possible explanation was proffered.
