The current study investigated the parenting style, self-perception, and shyness level of 1,338 junior high school students, so as to explore relationships between these variables. Results indicated that (1) The levels of the unassuming shyness, shyness when facing negative evaluation are higher than other dimensions of shyness; (2) The acceptance/involvement and strictness/supervision are negatively related with shyness; the acceptance/participation and strictness/supervision are positively correlated with self-perception; self-perception was negatively related with shyness; and (3) Parents’ acceptance/participation can indirectly affect shyness through the self-perception; parents’ strictness/supervision can affect shyness directly and indirectly through the self-perception.
