Cognitive, behavioral and physiological reactions were reported by 152 adolescent males self-identified as shy, occasionally shy, or not shy. Statistically significant differences were observed between the shy and not shy in the number of self-reported adverse reactions in each response mode. The findings support the conceptualization of shyness as a continuum which ranges from not shy to shy.
