But is this phenomenon widespread? According to a study by Dr. Philip G. Zimbardo, the author of this book, involving students from eight countries (participants aged 18–21), shyness is not only common but also worldwide. In the U.S., 44% consider themselves shy, while in Israel, it’s 31%, in West Germany, 43%, in Taiwan, 55%, and in Japan, 57%. This shows that shy people are not alone. However, this doesn’t mean shyness is commendable. Dr. Zimbardo mentions in the book that it signifies a shared issue among children, worth in-depth exploration.
