Sociability and shyness are orthogonal personality traits, wherein both are characterized by varying behavioral and psychophysiological correlates. Shyness should not be equated with the lack of sociability, as shyness relates to discomfort that occurs in the presence of others and sociability is identified with an individual's preference for being with others rather than alone.
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of type of schooling on sociability and shyness among students and to study the gender differences between sociability and shyness among students.
The sample comprised 210 students from both private and government schools situated in Delhi. Data were collected using Eysenck Personality Profiler for measuring sociability and Revised Cheek and Buss Shyness Scale.
The results obtained from ANOVA revealed that government school students were observed to be more sociable as compared to private school students. On the other hand, private school students were found to be more shy as compared to government school students. Females were observed to be more shy as compared to males. In addition, significant interactive effect was observed for sociability when school and gender were taken altogether.
社交性和害羞是相互独立的人格特质，两者都具有不同的行为和心理生理相关特征。不应将害羞等同于缺乏社交性，因为害羞与在他人面前出现的不适感有关，而社交性则体现在个体更倾向于与他人相处而非独处。
本研究的目的是考察学校类型对学生社交性和害羞程度的影响，并研究学生在社交性和害羞程度上的性别差异。
样本包括来自德里私立和政府学校的210名学生。使用艾森克人格量表测量社交性，并使用修订后的奇克和巴斯害羞量表收集数据。
方差分析结果显示，与私立学校学生相比，公立学校学生被观察到更具社交性。另一方面，与公立学校学生相比，私立学校学生被发现更害羞。与男性相比，女性被观察到更害羞。此外，当将学校和性别因素综合考虑时，社交性存在显著的交互作用。
