 ==Shyness as desirable in China but not in Canada/US==
 ===School peer acceptance===
-Shyness and sensitivity has been found in a study to be a highly desired trait among Shanghai schoolchildren.(Chen, Rubin and Sun 1992)<ref>https://srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1467-8624.1992.tb01698.x</ref> "Shy" and "senstive" children were found to be the most sought-out as friends (aka not ostracized).  In contrast, the researchers found the opposite in a Canadian setting, with the non-shy being the most sought-after as friends. This is similar to a general stereotype that being shy can be a social asset outside certain Western countries, suggesting aversion to shyness is a cultural, rather than a biological trait.
