Shyness Study Examines How Human Brain Adapts to Stimuli

Shyness may be the result of deficits in two areas of the brain, new research from Vanderbilt University finds. Extremely shy or inhibited individuals are typically slow to acclimate to new people.

Paul Higgins: I think that we have to be really careful in these sorts of areas in confusing the ideas of a disease with a range of behaviours or states along a continuum of normal human behaviour. Having been a shy child myself, and still tending towards the shy and introverted side of the spectrum (although a lot of people would not pick that up) I think it is important that when seeking to understand how the brain works we do not categorise people as abnormal just because they are not average.
