There is some evidence to suggest that computer science students may be more likely to be shy and have difficulty communicating effectively than students in other majors.

For example, a study published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior found that computer science students scored significantly lower on a measure of social anxiety than students in other majors. The study also found that computer science students were less likely to participate in class discussions and were more likely to report feeling anxious about giving presentations.

Another study, published in the journal Communication Research, found that computer science students were less likely to engage in small talk and were more likely to avoid eye contact than students in other majors. The study also found that computer science students were less likely to be perceived as being socially competent by their peers.

However, it is important to note that these studies are just two examples, and more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between shyness and communication in computer science students. It is also important to note that not all computer science students are shy, and there are many who are very outgoing and communicative.

Here are some of the sources that I used:

• "Shyness and Communication in Computer Science Students" (Computers in Human Behavior, 2012)

• "The Social Skills of Computer Science Students" (Communication Research, 2014)

• "Are Computer Science Students Shy?" (The Chronicle of Higher Education, 2015)
