Abstract
This study examines the age 18 outcomes of two subtypes of social withdrawal assessed at age 3. In a community sample of 333 preschoolers, conflicted shyness and social disinterest predicted externalizing symptoms, and conflicted shyness predicted alcohol and drug disorder diagnoses at age 18.
