Figure 1.
Relationship between shyness and other temperaments.
(A) Fear scores (vertical axis) correlate linearly with shyness scores (horizontal axis). The solid line represents a regression line of the distribution. (B) Approach scores (vertical axis) correlate secondarily with shyness scores (horizontal axis). The solid line represents a secondary regression curve of the distribution. R: Correlation coefficient.
Figure 2.
Infants’ visual preferences for different face types.
This figure shows the mean percentile fixation durations for the following three face stimuli: mother, intermediate and stranger. The bottom pictures present examples of the face stimuli. The open and filled circles represent the mean fixation durations for the infants with low and high shyness, respectively. Error bars indicate the S.E. of the mean. n.s.: no significant difference.
Figure 3.
Infants’ visual preferences for different facial regions.
This figure shows the mean percentile fixation durations for the following three types of facial regions: eyes, nose and mouth. The open and filled circles represent mean fixation durations for the infants with low and high shyness, respectively. *P<0.05. Error bars indicate the S.E. of the mean.
Figure 4.
Infants’ visual preferences for different directions of the face and gaze.
This figure shows the mean percentile fixation duration for the different types of face stimuli, including strangers’ faces with direct and averted gaze. The bottom pictures are examples of the face stimuli. The open and filled circles represent the mean fixation durations for the infants with low and high shyness, respectively. **P<0.01. Error bars indicate the S.E. of the mean.
