The Correlation Between Communication Styles and Strategies, and Shyness Levels among Humanities and Social Sciences Students
Co-written with Dyllan Coronel, Ayahzel Dologmanding, Christofe Balagtas, and Kai Natividad
This paper will focus on a HUMSS student's shyness levels, and how it affects their communication skills/strategies, primarily to debunk the common stereotypes associated with HUMSS students. The study employs a correlational approach to examine the relation between shyness levels and communication styles/strategies. Results show that HUMSS students have a preference towards the assertive communication style, suggesting HUMSS students are capable of presenting themselves confidently, though leaning towards tasks that involve less public performance, and more internal processing. There is a negative correlation between a HUMSS student's communication strategies and their shyness levels, and a positive correlation between their communication skills and shyness levels.
