The Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast was established in 1997 to promote understanding in the area of shyness. The main function of the Institute is to help understand the pains and problems of shyness, not to market a cure. Dr. Carducci has been quoted as saying, "We'd rather understand shy people than change them." By carefully analyzing responses from shy individuals from all over the world, Institute researchers focus on helping them understand the dynamics of their shyness.
