Abstract
In recent years, intellectual humility (IH) has become an emerging topic in psychological research. In general, it refers to the admission and acceptance that one’s knowledge is limited, and one’s cognitive ability is imperfect. IH has been proven to be associated with many psychological attributes, such as Big Five, rational and objective thinking, academic achievement, and interpersonal relationships, et al. This article systematically reviews the definitions, characteristics, and measurements of IH, the factors influencing it, as well as its psychological functioning. Finally, we suggest that further research should investigate the relationship among the components of IH, and the inconsistent results in this area to clarify the factors mainly influencing IH and the mechanism of IH judgment.
Highlights
Over the years, humility as a virtue has been studied from many perspectives
The characteristics and internal composition of intellectual humility (IH) are the subjects of ongoing research, which has led us to the diversity of IH measurement
Many researchers have assumed that IH is a multidimensional psychological attribute constituted of multiple components
Summary
Humility as a virtue has been studied from many perspectives. As opposed to arrogant people, humble people tend to assess their abilities and achievements more accurately. They admit their imperfections and limitations, maintain an openness to conflicting information, are low self-focus and high other-focus, and appreciate the value of everything (Chancellor & Lyubomirsky, 2013; Tangney, 2000; Wright et al, 2017). Intellectual humility (IH) is a groundbreaking field of study that combines these two dimensions. With the prevalence of positive psychology, IH has become one of the most exciting fields in psychological research because it has been shown to have a wide-reaching influence on human functioning (e.g., Krumrei-Mancuso, 2016). We will review and comb the theoretical and empirical research on IH in order to outline the adumbration of the current state of this research area and give suggestions and directions for future research
