The hypothesis that shyness would be associated with attribution of emotional reactions to stable internal causes rather than to less stable internal and external causes was tested in Study 1 (N = 60). In Study 2 (N= 112) the hypothesis that the explanatory power of shyness would decrease once the effect of self-focused attention on attribution to stable internal causes had been controlled for was tested. The results confirmed both hypotheses. Shyness correlated positively with attribution to stable internal causes, but non-significant with attribution to less stable internal and external causes. Shyness explained a lesser portion of the variance in attribution to both of the internal causes when controlling for self-focus. Even though the findings indicate that self-focus is central to the social cognitive processes of shy individuals, they also suggest that self-focus cannot fully explain attribution to internal causes in general and shy individuals' attributional pattern in particular.
在研究1（N = 60）中，对害羞与将情绪反应归因于稳定的内部原因而非较不稳定的内部和外部原因这一假设进行了检验。在研究2（N = 112）中，对一旦控制了自我关注对稳定内部原因归因的影响，害羞的解释力就会降低这一假设进行了检验。结果证实了这两个假设。害羞与对稳定内部原因的归因呈正相关，但与对较不稳定的内部和外部原因的归因无显著相关。在控制自我关注时，害羞对两种内部原因归因差异的解释比例较小。尽管研究结果表明自我关注是害羞个体社会认知过程的核心，但它们也表明，自我关注一般不能完全解释对内部原因的归因，尤其是害羞个体的归因模式。
