“…This method is most often used when studying the impacts of leader humility and relational outcomes associated with humility, such as facilitating social bonds and granting forgiveness (e.g. Davis et al 2011Davis et al , 2013. This approach may be uniquely appropriate for exploring the expressed humility attributes described earlier.…”

“…For instance, Peters et al (2011) used the semantic differential scale and found that humility was positively related to higher social relationship quality, and Davis et al (2013) found that humility (measured via their RHS scale) strengthened social bonds and positively predicted status and acceptance in groups. These findings aligned with those of Owens et al (2013), who examined the other-reported humility of undergraduate team members working on real team projects.…”

Since 2000, researchers and practitioners have shown increased interest in humility. This construct has been studied in disciplines ranging from organizational behaviour to positive psychology, culminating in a wealth of information that can now be analysed and reviewed through the lens of humility in organizations. This review begins by reflecting on existing conceptualizations of humility and presenting a summary of findings that reflects a greater consensus in definitional work than some researchers may realize. It then considers the progress that has been made in measuring humility by specifying key measurement strategies. It next synthesizes existing empirical findings on humility to illuminate the uniqueness of the construct. It also shows that researchers have focused on studying dependent variables that exist at multiple organizational levels and that largely comprise pro-social and relational variables, emotional well-being, and learning and performance outcomes. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research.

“…These character virtues have been linked to prosocial behavior in children (e.g., Damon, 1988;Eisenberg et al, 2015), and are essential for successfully interacting with others (e.g., Davis et al, 2013). However, it is important to note that our operationalization of humility was somewhat limited in scope due to the difficulty of defining and assessing humility in children of this age.…”

“…For the larger AIM study, we have identified several character virtues that have been linked to prosocial behavior and positive development in children (e.g., Damon, 1988;Eisenburg, Spinrad, & Knafo, 2015). These character virtueshumility, intellectual humility, forgiveness, generosity, honesty, love, creativity, and futuremindedness -are especially essential for children to successfully interact with their peers as well as adults, and to build meaningful social bonds (e.g., Davis et al, 2013).…”

“…Given the content of the IGN, aspects related to the character virtue of humility were most prominent in Buddies' conversations. Because there is no psychometrically strong measure of humility for young children, we relied on the limited extant literature describing key concepts of humility that children are capable of understanding (see Davis et al, 2010Davis et al, , 2011Davis et al, , 2013Echols & Finkbiner, 2013). According to Echols and Finkbiner (2013), for instance, humility reflects both a modest view of oneself as well as openness to new ideas and the practices of others.…”

In the midst of increasing emphasis on the inclusion of character education in both school and out-of-school time programs, digital technologies have become ubiquitous in these settings. Based on the potential of these technologies to enhance children's character development, the Arthur Interactive Media (AIM) study investigated if one specific unit or set of digital media-based activities engaged youth in discussions about character. First and second grade students were paired with fourth and fifth grade students, respectively, while engaging with an online interactive graphic novel (IGN) about a character-relevant story based on the Arthur cartoon series. Teachers (n = 8) completed surveys about the AIM Unit, and conversations between cross-age peer dyads (n = 27 dyads) during their engagement with the IGN were analyzed. Results indicated that teachers were very satisfied with the materials and reported that children were very engaged throughout. Analyses of children's conversations indicated that children participated in character-relevant conversations involving humility, forgiveness, and future-mindedness while engaging with the IGN.
