Kerr, Margaret; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v32 n6 p1100-05 Nov 1996
Related Swedish mothers' ratings of their children's shyness with the children's later timing of marriage and parenthood and career success. Shy boys married and became fathers later than non-shy boys, but their careers were not affected by shyness. Shy girls married and became mothers at the same time as non-shy girls. Compared results with results from an American study. (BC)
