520 |a Adolescence is the most critical period of our lives considering dating and development of shyness. The goal of this study was to establish prevalence and interrelationships among shyness, self-rated physical attractiveness and dating experience in Croatian female high-school graduates (N = 518) and university students (N = 387). Subjects were asked to report the number of longer and more stable romantic relationships they had with the opposite sex, to rate their physical attractiveness on a seven point numerical scale and to complete the Shyness scale. Results indicate that shyness is higher in high-school graduates than in university sudents and that shyer females have less dating experience than unshy ones. No age difference in self-rated physical attractiveness was found. In the subsample of high school graduates the self-rated shyness proved to be a stronger predictor for dating experience than attractiveness. For the university students both predictors are of the sampe importance for dating behavior.
