Abstract: Shyness refers to a state that the individuals feel uncomfortable in social situations, a kind of fear based on other people's negative assessment of them, together with emotional depression and behavioral inhibition, and more seriously, it will have effect on their behavior preventing them to participate their desired activity or the pursuit of personal and professional goals. Previous studies showed that college freshmen students have the poor Adaptation, as we all know, a good Adaptation to university life not only benefit to their university study, but also have an important effect on their adult life and work in the future. Previous studies have indicated that shyness may affect Adaptation, but these studies were limited to the relevant studies, and did not explore the causal relationship between them. In order to explore the causal relationship between shyness and Adaptation in college freshmen, the present study uses a cross-lagged path model design method, put forward four theoretical models, and have the assumption that shyness as a kind of personality trait will impact Adaptation in college freshmen. Through the comparison (χ2(df), NFI, RFI, IFI, TLI, CFT, RMSEA) among the models, an optimal model is determined. The scale used in the present study is: The College Students' Shyness Scale revised by Wang qianqian et al., the Chinese college students’ Adaptation scale revised by Fang xiaoyi et al., the participants come from two universities of Shandong Province, and the first measuring time is when the military training over, Total measuring time is two months and effected at one month interval. After measuring for three times, a total of 359 valid subjects were obtained after remove the extreme values and those who are not serious in the questionnaire. Final, the data analysis using SPSS22.0 and AMOS17.0. Analysis of shyness and Adaptation with repeated measures ANOVA analysis; correlation analysis for the lateral and vertical correlation relationship between shyness and Adaptation; the cross lagged relationship between shyness and Adaptation is analyzed by AMOS17.0. In this way, it is very clear to see the development and change between shyness and Adaptation in college freshmen. And it is also can find the causal relationship between shyness and Adaptation. So the present study is significant for the researchers to understand the status of shyness in Chinese college freshmen and the effect for their life, so as to cause everybody’s attention, and further to explore the relationship between shyness and Adaptation deeply, thus to improve the psychological health of College Students. According to analyze the factors that influence the Adaptation of college freshmen, and then to discuss shyness’ effect on Adaptation, to determine how to implement intervention so as to improve the school Adaptation level of college freshmen. The results showed that: (1) the freshmen's shyness and school Adaptation remained stable for a period of time, the correlation coefficients between shyness and Adaptation at the three measurement time points were between 0.6 and 0.8. (2) shyness and school Adaptation was negatively correlated. (3) At the beginning of college life, shyness can predict Adaptation; Adaptation can also significantly predict shyness. The cross lagged path standardized regression coefficient showed that the shyness of T1 time were significantly negatively to predict the Adaptation of T2 time; the Adaptation of T1 time were also significantly negatively to predict the shyness of T2 time; however, the shyness of T2/T3 time can’t predict the Adaptation of T2/T3 time each other. Finally, we draw to the conclusion: the relationship between shyness and Adaptation in college freshmen is reciprocal causation at the beginning of the college life. So we can intervene the shyness and Adaptation of freshmen at this stage.

Key words: freshmen, shyness, adaptability, cross-lagged analysis

摘要： 以大学生羞怯量表、大学生适应量表为工具，对359名大一新生进行2个月的追踪，以考察大一新生羞怯和适应的相互关系。结果发现：(1)大一新生的羞怯和适应一段时间内保持稳定。(2)羞怯与适应呈显著负相关。(3)T1的羞怯负向预测T2的适应，T1的适应负向预测T2的羞怯。结论：新生入学之初羞怯与适应之间相互预测，大一新生入学之初的一段时间可能是进行干预的较适宜时期。
