Social Anxiety Disorder and Shyness

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia/dictionary

Abstract

Shyness and Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) have much in common and may, in non-extreme cases, be difficult to distinguish. While shyness is widespread but varies greatly in intensity and impairment, the prevalence rates for SAD have proven elastic and depend heavily on the threshold used to determine distress or impairment.
