The study data revealed that the education status of the father of the students participating in this study seems to be significant predictor of the shyness observed in these students. However, the variables including the education level of the mother, the income level of the family and the gender are not significant predictors of shyness and self-esteem. Furthermore, self-esteem explains 1% of the variance in shyness points. Upon examination of B (-.407) and t (-1.616) values in respect of which variables predicts the shyness, it is seen that self-esteem does not significantly predict shyness (F(1, 252) = 2.611 p= .108).
