ABSTRACT

A random sample of 535 children was selected by cluster random sampling. The shyness level and parenting style of parents and shyness level of children were investigated. The results indicated that there was a positive correlation between parent shyness and child shyness, and there was a negative correlation between the child shyness and the authoritative parenting style. Mother shyness has a positive effect on different gender child shyness, but father shyness can only positively predict boy’s shyness. The authoritarian parenting style has a negative predictive effect on boy’s shyness. The authoritative parenting style could significantly enhance the influence of parent shyness on child shyness.
