Abstract
This study examines the relation between shyness, social support and depressive symptoms in a sample of 259 students (aged 14—16 years) in two secondary schools. Results at both time-points showed positive associations of depressive symptoms with shyness and with being female and negative associations of depressive symptoms with social support and extraversion. Cross time-point results showed that shyness at T1 predicted change in depressive symptoms at T2, even when the effects of gender and extraversion were partialled out. In addition, a significant interaction effect appeared of shyness and peer support in relation to depressive symptoms.
