Answer to Question 1

In comparing Eastern and Western cultures, shyness impacts social competence differently. In Western culture, shyness tends to be seen as a liability because shy people tend to fail to act boldly and miss out on some opportunities. In contrast, in Eastern culture, shyness tend to be associated with greater social competence (although more recent data suggests that children from China may increasingly see shyness as a liability, similar to Western counterparts). Even among Western cultures, shyness produces different outcomes. Swedish people tend to view shyness more positively than Americans, although both nations are Western. Because Swedes view shyness more positively, for Swedish men it is not much of a liability. In contrast, American men who are shy tend to see it impact their careers adversely.
