Dear Dr Harry

I can understand what you mean and as far as I Know:

Shyness is considered as a universal phenomenon and its prevalence rates vary across cultures

I am skeptical whether shyness can be attributed to cultural dynamics.

I have doubts, too, concerning a positive response to the main question.

Regards

I think the reasons for shame are affected by socialization

Article Implicit theories of shyness

Interesting question, I am both an extrovert and an introvert, I should use this opportunity to try to understand where it comes from and why I can be shy and very sociable at the same time. Puzzling. But actually I like it and I appreciate it, it gives me some balance and stability.

Very informative comment from you Rai

Very elaborated links Montoneri

Thanks Rasheed

Yes some cultures are inherently shy

I think that the term "shy" is not very academic. I do not have a better definition at hand, but if you are going to use this question or idea in academic writing, you will need to describe the characteristics much more specifically.

For example, as native speaker who speaks with EFL speakers, students are often called "shy" when in reality they lack self-confidence and are reluctant to expose their perceived inadequacy. A more specific definition will allow you to frame your research question in a way that you can answer with data collection.

I appreciate your in-depth explanation Dr Marek.

Thanks Dr Ziarati

It is part of the cause of the problem, not all of it

I think it shouldn't, bkz if it is, then the natural way of expression must be hampered

Shyness a natural traits to be taken care of by parents right from the childhood stage of their child & if the parent have feel to notice the behavior & action of child & if not taken care the child should cultivate the traits in a regular manner & which has become the link of their lifetime .

With the shyness an individual will be intelligent well educated but due to this basic nature of shyness he will not become the free in his expression & deciding to make his contribution in a very slow manner .Due to this nature he may not be coming out with friends,colleague & also fail to contribute in his social surrounding .

This is my personal opinion

I agree with you Prof. Parikh

"Cultural"... Yes but not the only cause of "shyness". Culturally, some hold this as a virtue translated to humility and an important one for the "girls" of marriageable age. However, even in places where it's not a cultural virtue so to say, the phenomenon is basically a resultant effect of "lack of confidence". This could occur at different degrees depending on the scenario playing out.

Intelligent people could lose confidence in an unknown territory.

Unintelligent once tends to loose confidence all the time.

In countries where English is not the first language, this is even worse when citizens of such countries communicate with foreigners. The fear of making mistakes is unusually the cause in this scenario .

Hence, the root cause of shyness go beyond just cultural ethics.

Thank you Victor for the insightful comment

Can Shyness be attributable to Cultural Dynamics?

#yes I agree. Cultural characteristics and their influence on person's being is really understandable. There is always the interaction between one's genotype and his/her physical environment ( e.g cultural traits) which can in manifest in many human behaviours including shyness.

Thanks and Regards

It is a substantial fact that the make up of any person has influence on account of many dimensions- How he has been brought up, what type of exposure he received during his or her growing up period, what was the interaction level , environment he received in school/college etc.

If he has been shy, it speaks of his environment and surroundings where he has been exposed.

In other words, it reflects hid cultural environment.

Thank you for the immense contribution, Dr Shelf.

Dr Sheth's answer is followed

Agree with @ Victor Okomoda

From what I understand , if we have social skills in our community then it is transferable to others . I see it in my family members ...

Thank you Patel for following

I agree with your submission Dr. Lucero

Thank you Dr Murthy for your comment.

Interesting comment on cultural dynamics of Shyness Frank

I think so

I know that some cultural ethical codes instruct citizens to respect others. Shyness in most cases is often seen as a sign of respect, often exhibited by women and lowly people for high ranking persons in the society.

However, in a generalized perspective, shyness is more sociological in nature.

I agree and appreciate you contribution Bro. Dickson

I agree with Montoneri

I agree with Dr. Rohit

There are always sociocultural reasons for a lot of behaviours ,we are much shaped by our environment

Thank you Perpetual
