“…Based on previous theoretical (Henderson & Wilson, 2017; Henderson et al., 2015) and empirical (Hassan et al., 2020; Henderson, 2010; Sette et al., 2018; Thorell et al., 2004; Troller‐Renfree et al., 2019; White, McDermott, et al., 2011) work, we predicted that temperamental shyness would be related to an increased risk for social anxiety among children who showed heightened neurocognitive control (i.e., large decreases in frontal theta/beta ratio) during the social stress induction. In order to provide convergent evidence, children’s social anxiety was assessed at both a state level, reported in response to an impending speech task, as well as at a trait level which assessed their dispositional anxiety more broadly across contexts.…”
