In this introductory chapter, guided by developmental psychopathology and developmental science as overarching integrative theoretical frameworks, the authors define three constructs related to social anxiety in childhood (behavioral inhibition, anxious solitude/withdrawal, and social anxiety disorder) and analyze commonalities and differences in the content and assessment of these constructs. They then highlight controversies between developmental and clinical approaches to the definition of these constructs, the role of biology in social anxiety, age of onset of social anxiety, information processing biases in social anxiety, heterogeneity in the social and emotional adjustment of socially anxious children, and targets of intervention for childhood social anxiety.
在本章引言中，作者以发展性精神病理学和发展科学作为总体综合理论框架，定义了与儿童社交焦虑相关的三个概念（行为抑制、焦虑性独处/退缩和社交焦虑障碍），并分析了这些概念在内容和评估方面的异同。接着，他们强调了在这些概念定义的发展性与临床性方法之间的争议、生物学在社交焦虑中的作用、社交焦虑的发病年龄、社交焦虑中的信息加工偏差、社交焦虑儿童在社会和情绪调适方面的异质性，以及儿童社交焦虑的干预目标。
