“…This highlights a limitation of spiritual humility—partners may be less willing to change their mind when with spiritually humble partners. This is discrepant from other work, demonstrating the benefits of mutually humble dyads (i.e., relationship partners) and the drawbacks of an arrogant partner (Rodriguez et al, 2019; Van Tongeren, Hook, et al, 2019). These results diverge from the more common narrative, wherein humility has been related to greater span in the engagement of religious differences (e.g., Hook et al, 2017; Rodriguez et al, 2019; Zhang et al, 2015).…”

“…Humility includes a focus on others' needs and well-being. In addition, it reflects an ability to see and hold an accurate and balanced self-view [37], reflected in an awareness of a person's own strengths and weaknesses [38]. Individuals with high humility tend to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses accurately, be open to critical feedback, and acknowledge room for selfimprovement [39].…”

Although gratitude is typically conceptualized as a positive emotion, it may also induce socially oriented negative feelings, such as indebtedness and guilt. Given its mixed emotional experience, we argue that gratitude motivates people to improve themselves in important life domains. Two single-timepoint studies tested the immediate emotional and motivational effects of expressing gratitude. We recruited employees (n = 224) from French companies in Study 1 and students (n = 1026) from U.S. high schools in Study 2. Participants in both studies were randomly assigned to either write gratitude letters to benefactors or outline their weekly activities (control condition). Expressing gratitude led to mixed emotional experiences (e.g., greater elevation and indebtedness) for employees and students as compared with the control group. Students also felt more motivated and capable of improving themselves, as well as conveyed stronger intentions to muster effort towards self-improvement endeavors.

“…Farrell et al, 2015). Also, we assumed that similarity (discrepancy) in honesty/humility would be positively correlated with both partners' marital satisfaction as being humble is beneficial when one's partner is humble too (Van Tongeren et al, 2019). And finally, we expected couples to have a similar love style, and discrepancy in love styles might be negatively related to their marital satisfaction.…”

background Scientific study of marital satisfaction attracted widespread attention decades ago. Since then, hundreds of studies have been conducted on determinants of marital satisfaction. The present study attempted to extend previous research on marital life by discussing two important correlates of marital satisfaction: personality traits and love styles. By emphasizing the similarity of personality traits and attitudes toward love in dyads, the study seeks the possible influential constituents for marital outcomes. participants and procedureEighty-seven (N = 174) married heterosexual couples recruited through a convenience sampling procedure participated in the study. They completed the following questionnaires: the HEXACO Personality Inventory, Love Attitudes Scale, and Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS). resultsHusbands' honesty/humility level was positively correlated with their own and wives' marital satisfaction. Spouses were similar in some love styles. The discrepancy in their attitudes toward love may have negative as well as positive outcomes, depending on whether we consider husbands' or wives' marital satisfaction. Personality traits and love styles discrepancy scores predicted participants' marital satisfaction.conclusions Personality traits and love styles play a significant role in marital satisfaction for both women and men. Marital satisfaction has somewhat different correlates in the case of wives and husbands. Having a different personality or love styles also has different associations with the marital satisfaction of spouses. key words HEXACO personality traits; love styles; marital satisfactionThe role of personality and love style in marital satisfaction: Does similarity matter?corresponding author -Mariam Odilavadze,
