The characteristics of social phobia and shyness were compared on six dimensions: somatic features, cognitive characteristics, behavioral responses, daily functioning, clinical course, and onset characteristics. The results revealed that shyness and social phobia have a number of similar features. However, as currently conceptualized, the two syndromes differ in a number of important aspects as well. Definitive distinctions are hampered by the lack of empirical studies directing comparing the two conditions and by the heterogeneity of the shy population. Recommendations for clarifying some of the ambiguities are made.
在躯体特征、认知特点、行为反应、日常功能、临床病程和起病特征这六个维度上对社交恐惧症和害羞进行了比较。结果显示，害羞和社交恐惧症有许多相似特征。然而，按照目前的概念，这两种综合征在一些重要方面也存在差异。由于缺乏直接比较这两种情况的实证研究以及害羞人群的异质性，明确的区分受到了阻碍。文中针对澄清一些模糊之处提出了建议。
