Construct-Validating Humility: Perceptions of a Humble Doctor.


ABSTRACT: Examining the nature of humility using self-report measures has been a challenging endeavor due to concerns of response biases and the common misconception that equates humility with self-deprecation. Alternatively, this study attempts to validate the construct of humility by assessing subjects' (N = 553) responses to a speech written to represent the core elements of humility as opposed to self-deprecation or unconditional self-underrating. Data show that (a) humility comprises a latent construct subsuming accurate self-assessment, open-mindedness, and egalitarianism; and (b) humility outperforms self-deprecation in enhancing perceived sincerity, source credibility, and the intention to interact with the source. Results indicate, particularly for expert sources, that humility cues can promote approachability while maintaining perceived expertise.
