It addresses shyness as a ubiquitous phenomenon that reflects a preoccupation of the self in response to social interaction, resulting in social inhibition, social anxiety, and social withdrawal. The volume reviews the ways in which shyness has traditionally been conceptualized and describes the movement away from considering it as a disorder in need of treatment. In addition, it examines the often overlooked history and current evidence across evolution, animal species, and human culture, demonstrating the adaptive aspects of shyness from six perspectives: developmental, biological, social, cultural, comparative, and evolutionary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nTopics featured in this book include:\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe study of behavioral inhibition and shyness across four academic generations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe development of adaptive subtypes of shyness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShy children’s adaptation to academic challenges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdaptiveness of introverts in the workplace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of cultural norms and values in shaping shyness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerspectives of shyness as adaptive from Indigenous Peoples of North America.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe role that personality differences play on ecology and evolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdaptive Shyness\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-have resource for researchers and professors, clinicians and related professionals as well as graduate students in developmental psychology, pediatrics, and social work as well as related disciplines, including social\/personality, evolutionary, biological, and clinical child psychology, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-05-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030388768\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-38877-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 327\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47528504623244,"sku":"9783030388768","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030388768.jpg?v=1776042489","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030388768","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
