In the scale revision/construction sample of 326 college students the alpha coefficient of
internal consistency reliability for the 20-item shyness scales was .94 (M = 51.8; SD =
13.6) and it correlated .96 with the original Cheek & Buss 9-item shyness scale. Melchior
and Cheek (1990) reported that in a sample of 31 college women the 20-item scale had a
45-day test-retest reliability of .91, and correlated .69 with aggregated ratings of shyness
received from family members and close friends.
