Abstract
ABSTRACT The present study investigated the indirect effects of personality (Big Five) on shyness through two emotion regulation strategies – emotion suppression and cognitive reappraisal – in a community sample of 256 Greek pre-adolescents. Results showed that shyness was positively predicted by both regulation strategies, with emotion suppression constituting the link between shyness and low scores on extraversion and openness. Neuroticism also positively predicted shyness but had no effect through emotion regulation. These associations between personality, emotion regulation and shyness are discussed with respect to the extant literature and relevant theoretical implications.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
