It has long been argued that social withdrawal in early childhood is a risk factor for later socioemotional difficulties. However, in recent years, researchers have begun to make distinctions between types of social withdrawal in young children, including shyness, social disinterest, and social avoidance. lit this article, we review the literature art multiple forms of social withdrawal in, early childhood. In particular, we focus on (a) theoretical and empirical distinctions between shyness, social disinterest, and social avoidance; (b) links between these constructs and childrens social and nonsocial play behaviors with, peers; and (c) implications for children's psychosocial adjustment. As well, we provide suggestions for future research, particularly art. the relatively understudied construct of social disinterest and the virtually unexplored phenomenon of social avoidance.
