Shyness, attachment security, and cognitive abilities: Measurement and relationships.
Blankson, Araba Nayena Arthur.

Shyness, attachment security, and cognitive abilities: Measurement and relationships. - 208 p.

Adviser: Rand R. Wilcox.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Southern California, 2007.

The principal aim of this research was to provide evidence of the relationships between shyness, attachment security, and cognitive abilities. The evidence of previous studies of these relationships is equivocal, sometimes even contradictory. This may result because different measures, indicating different constructs, have been used in the different studies.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The principal aim of this research was to provide evidence of the relationships between shyness, attachment security, and cognitive abilities. The evidence of previous studies of these relationships is equivocal, sometimes even contradictory. This may result because different measures, indicating different constructs, have been used in the different studies.
520 $a Our review of previous research suggests that principally among the indicators and determinants of shyness are two qualities that are best regarded as motivational, one identified as neophilia and one termed neophobia. Principally among the indicators of intelligence are two kinds of cognitive ability, one called crystallized intelligence or Gc and one labeled fluid intelligence or Gf. These two forms of shyness and two forms of intelligence appear to become linked in early periods of development by influences that stem from experiences of attachment to a primary caregiver. These attachment experiences influence how the neophobic and neophilic drives determine exploratory behavior, which in turn shapes abilities. The present research was designed to test hypotheses of this theory with information obtained in data gathered from a sample of approximately 350 children ages 9 to 14 years.
520 $a Our review of the literature also suggested that in addition to the neophilia and neophobia concepts, there might be other aspects of shyness, each possibly having differing relationships with different cognitive ability constructs. The present research was designed to also test this hypothesis.
520 $a The results of this research provides evidence that the correlation between shyness and cognitive abilities might range from positive through zero to negative across different studies depending on the composition of the shyness scale, as well as the measure of cognitive ability. The extent to which attachment security moderates or mediates this relation also differs for different forms of shyness and different cognitive ability measures. In addition to providing an explanation for the seemingly contradictory results often observed in the literature as to the nature of the relation between shyness, attachment security, and cognitive abilities, the results of this research also provide evidence against the continued focus on 'IQ' or 'g' in research studies. Additional implications of the results are discussed.
