 CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES AND STUDIES

In this chapter, the researchers gathered related literature and studies. This
provides an overview about previous research that supports the study of overcoming the
shyness of the transferee students.

The overcoming of shyness really occurs on every transferee students and as

Pecson (2017) stated that human fears and shyness towards to others may lead to
anxiety and students’ extreme fear to socialize may be leading to social anxiety disorder
(SAD). In contrast, he also says that there is no significant relationship on the perception
of the students and teachers in relation to socio-phobic experiences and types of social
phobia experienced, except on the significant relationship existed on the generalized type
of social phobia.
Moreover, there is no significant relationship on the profile of the students, their
type of social phobia and socio-phobic experiences, except on the significant relationship
existed between specific type of social phobia and the profiles of sex and GPA and
between social phobia experienced and the specific type of social phobia.
Although a socio-phobic person may feel like the only one with this problem, social
anxiety or social phobia is actually quite common. Many people struggle with these fears.
But the situations that trigger the symptoms of social anxiety disorder can be different.
Just because a person occasionally gets nervous in social situations does not mean one
has social anxiety disorder or social phobia. Many people are shy or self-conscious, at
least from time to time, yet it does not get in the way of their everyday functioning. Social
anxiety disorder, on the other hand, does interfere with a person’s normal routine and
causes tremendous distress, Smith (2011).
Hasan (2018) stated that dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to
face fears and try new things, and the willingness to practice. It takes a commitment to
go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.
Moreover, he also says that people with social phobia can learn to manage fear,
develop confidence and coping skills, and stop avoiding things that make them anxious.
But it's not always easy. Someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn
to be more comfortable. Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take
the next small step. As shyness and fears begin to melt, confidence and positive feelings
build. Pretty soon, the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and
more about what might be fun.
Chernyak (2019) says breaking out of your shyness shell takes a lot of courage.
But, the possible rewards--new friends--are great. You can learn to meet new people by
acting friendly so that people feel comfortable approaching you. It can also help to build
up your confidence around other people. After that, keep your new friends around by
being positive and kind.
Gren-Lendell (2008) stated that social phobia is a common psychiatric condition
in Swedish adolescents, especially in girls. As impairment in the school-domain was
reported to a high degree, professionals and teachers need to recognize social phobia
in adolescents so that help in overcoming the difficulties can be offered.
Mancini (2005) gives statement that social anxiety disorder, or social phobia (SP),
is an anxiety disorder characterized by excessive fear of exposure to situations that
involve potential scrutiny by others. It is a common psychiatric problem in children and
adolescents, often presenting with comorbid anxiety and mood disorders.
Although the onset of social phobia is typically in late childhood or early
adolescence, most afflicted individuals go undiagnosed for years, not seeking treatment
until adulthood. First-line treatments for social phobia in adults support the use of
pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. There is new and emerging data in
youths with SP to support the use of similar treatments.
Beidel (2001) says that the concept of shyness in young children is not new;
however, only recently has it been recognized that childhood SAD is a prevalent and
severe disorder, with both immediate and long-term implications for academic, social, and
emotional functioning. This disorder can result in severe lifetime impairment, both
pharmacologic and psychosocial interventions for youth with social phobia are now
beginning to be developed, and their efficacy, to be determined.
However, two of the three double-blind studies were unable to replicate these
treatment benefits compared with placebo. The inability to find treatment effects may be
a manifestation of the small sample sizes used and the comorbidity of the samples used
to date.
Wenzel (2014) stated that social phobia is an anxiety disorder that is highly
comorbid with other anxiety disorders, depression, and substance use disorders, such
that up to 90% of people who are diagnosed with social phobia in their lifetimes will be
diagnosed with another mental health disorder. Over the past 20 years, investigations of
comorbidity in social phobia have extended beyond the consideration of comorbidity with
other anxiety disorders, depression, and substance use disorders. He indicates that social
phobia is also highly comorbid with eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder.
Kaye (2012) describes social phobia may refer to social anxiety, specific social
phobia, or social anxiety disorder. Social phobia is characterized by marked and
persistent fear of social or performance situations leading to possible embarrassment,
and exposure to the threatening situation provokes an immediate anxiety response such
as panic attack. The disorder may be unrecognized by medical providers across settings,
particularly when patients present for surgery.
Waldinger (2015) says that men with social phobia had more sexual problems than
those without. Men with social phobia suffered mainly moderate impairment in arousal,
orgasm, sexual enjoyment, and subjective satisfaction domains. Meanwhile, women with
social phobia reported with severe impairment in their desire, arousal, sexual activity, and
subjective satisfaction. Patients with social phobia exhibit a wide range of sexual
dysfunctions. Men have mainly performance problems, and women have a more
pervasive disorder. Patients of both genders show difficulties in sexual interaction.
Scully (2014) states that Social phobia involves overwhelming anxiety and
excessive self- consciousness in normal social situations, resulting in a persistent, intense
and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others and being embarrassed or
humiliated by one’s own actions. Women and men are equally likely to develop social
phobia, usually beginning in childhood or early adolescence.
He also says that Accompanying physical symptoms may include blushing,
profuse sweating, trembling, nausea and difficulty in talking. Anxiety disorders and
depression are common and substance abuse may develop. But he stated that Social
phobia can usually be treated successfully with psychotherapy or medications.
 Pollack (2010) says that social phobia, also referred to as social anxiety disorder,
is diagnosed when the patient perceives that he or she will be the object of public scrutiny
and fears that he or she will behave in a way that will be humiliating or embarrassing. This
perception leads to persistent fear and avoidance or to endurance with intense distress.
Circumscribed situations may be feared (e.g., speaking before a group, performance
anxiety, writing or eating in the presence of others, or urinating in public lavatories); many
patients experience more global difficulties in which most social interactions are
difficult. Patients with a social phobia may have intense anxiety in the hospital because
they are under intense scrutiny by others.
Richards (2019) defines that shyness is likes social anxiety is the fear of social
situations that involve interaction with other people. You could say social anxiety is the
fear and anxiety of being negatively judged and evaluated by other people. It is a
pervasive disorder and causes anxiety and fear in most all areas of a person's life. It is
chronic because it does not go away on its own. Only direct cognitive-behavioral
therapy can change the brain, and help people overcome social anxiety.
Mekuria (2016) stated that Social phobia is the most prevalent and chronic type of
anxiety disorder worldwide and it affects occupational, educational, and social affairs of
the individual. Social phobia is also known for its association with depression and
substance use disorder. He concluded that the proportion of social phobia was higher
compared to previous evidences. School-based youth-friendly mental health services
might be helpful to tackle this problem.
Felman (2018) states that one of the factors that make symptoms of social anxiety
worse is the fear of becoming anxious itself. The more anxious a person feels about social
situations, the less likely it is they will expose themselves to the social situations. Being
exposed to social situations, however, is necessary to overcome anxiety, and the less a
person exposes themselves to social interaction, the more extreme the anxiety becomes.
He also says that it is important to break the cycle of anxious thoughts. There are steps
proven to help prepare a person for social interactions that may feel nervous ahead of
having to face them.
