Relations between Shyness-Sensitivity and Internalizing Problems in Chinese Children: Moderating Effects of Academic Achievement

---

Shy-sensitive children are likely to develop adjustment problems in today’s urban China as the country
has evolved into an increasingly competitive, marketoriented society. The main purpose of this one-year longitudinal study was to examine the moderating effects of academic achievement on relations between shynesssensitivity and later internalizing problems in Chinese children. A sample of 1171 school-age children (591 boys,580 girls) in China, initially at the age of 9 years, participated in the study. Data on shyness, academic achievement, and internalizing problems were collected from multiple sources including peer evaluations, teacher ratings, self-reports, and school records. It was found that
shyness positively and uniquely predicted later loneliness,depression, and teacher-rated internalizing problems, with the stability effect controlled, for low-achieving children,but not for high-achieving children. The results indicate that, consistent with the stress buffering model, academic achievement may be a buffering factor that serves to protect shy-sensitive children from developing psychological
problems.
