Summary
Previous studies have shown that the shame experience of Chinese college students was more common and more serious than that found in other countries, and it has seriously hindered the development of college students’ social skills (Ban, 2010), the most typical of which is shyness. Shyness is a kind of subjective social anxiety caused by the expectations of the evaluation of other people’s interpersonal relationships in social situations. It is often accompanied by behavioral inhibition or emotional depression or inhibition. College students who are highly shy are often a group that lacks the warmth and understanding of their parents This shows that parental understanding and emotional warmth play a positive role in reducing shyness (Shan Minglei, 2010). This article aims to explore the influence of family cohesion on college students’ shyness, and to further study the role of parental warmth in it. This research makes the following assumptions: 1 There is a significant correlation between family cohesion, parental warmth and college students’ shyness; 2The emotional warmth of parents played an intermediary role in the influence of family cohesion on college students’ shyness
