害羞指的是在具有挑战性的社交场合中的焦虑反应。虽然害羞被认为是有生物根源的，但个体的社会化经历在塑造它的发展过程中发挥了作用。在这篇文章中，我讨论了与文化相关的问题，不同形式的害羞，以及适应。文化信仰和价值观，特别是与社会化目标有关的文化信仰和价值观，反映在成年人和同龄人对儿童害羞行为的态度中，这些态度赋予儿童害羞行为以意义，同时也调节其发展。文化还在一定程度上决定了害羞的功能意义，因为它与适应的关系。重要的是要调查社会过程的中介作用，如在同伴互动中的评价和反应，以及文化对害羞表现和发展模式的影响。同样重要的是要研究社会和文化变化对害羞发展的影响。
Shyness refers to anxious reactivity in challenging social situations. Whereas shyness is believed to be biologically rooted, individual socialization experiences play a role in shaping its development. In this paper, I discuss issues related to culture, different forms of shyness, and adjustment. Cultural beliefs and values, particularly those related to socialization goals, are reflected in adults' and peers' attitudes toward children's shy behavior, which ascribe meaning to the behavior and, at the same time, regulate its development. Culture also determines, in part, the functional significance of shyness in terms of its relations with adjustment. It will be important to investigate the mediating role of social processes, such as evaluations and responses in peer interactions, in cultural influence on the display and developmental patterns of shyness. It will also be important to examine the implications of social and cultural changes for the development of shyness.
