Abstract： Shyness refers to an individual's inhibition in a social situation, which is an obstacle for an individual to participate in social interaction. Recent years, cognitive neuroscience research on shyness has increased. According to the metacognition model, social fitness model, lateralized brain-body emotion model, and differential susceptibility to environmental influences model, researchers have explored the effect of brain structure and function, as well as several ERP components related to sensory perception and attention on shyness. However, the theoretical and empirical research on cognitive and neural mechanisms of shyness is still in its infancy. Based on above, a psychological development model of shyness has been proposed. Future research on shyness should be studied from personality and emotion simultaneously, and continue to develop research paradigm so as to deeply explore the cognitive nervous mechanism.
