Abstract
Forty college women who had been pre-tested on a measure of shyness, took the Stroop Color and World Test twice and completed a post-session questionnaire concerning their reactions to taking the test. Shy Ss had significantly lower Color-Word scores on the second Stroop test administration, indicating cognitive interference and distractibility. Shyness was also significantly correlated with self-reports of worry and test-irrelevant thinking as reactions to taking the Stroop test. These results are discussed from the perspective of cognitive approaches to shyness.
