GUEST EDITORS: Louis A. Schmidt & Robert J. Coplan

The last three decades have been witness to a multitude of advances in theory and research in the study of shyness, behavioral inhibition, and social withdrawal in childhood. In this Special Issue we aim to highlight the current and future state of the field of work in this area.

In trying to take a somewhat different approach in terms of format, we are inviting contributors to submit brief reports (<3000 words) presenting concise but informative accounts of interesting developments in this area of research.
