Although the origins of shyness are multifaceted, interest in the neurobiological foundations of shyness has received considerable attention over the past several decades (see, e.g., Fox et al., 2001, 2005; Kagan et al., 1987, 1988; Schmidt & Schulkin, 1999, Schmidt & Miskovic, 2013, 2014, for reviews). This has been fostered by the availability of theoretical frameworks for understanding nonhuman animal and human brain‐behavior relations as well as advancements in technologies that have allowed for the relatively noninvasive collection of electrical brain activity such as electroencephalography (EEG). This combination has positioned researchers well to study the neural substrates underlying shyness, and how these neural processes may mediate adaptive and nonadaptive behaviors associated with shyness.
