“…The informational identity style positively predicts quiet ego, with high self-compassion being a mediating factor. Previous research has explored the potential relationship between the informational identity style and self-compassion, in addition to the relationship between self-compassion and quiet ego (Bruser & Beaumont, 2010;Chew & Ang, 2021). Bruser and Beaumont (2010) reported no significant relationship between the informational identity style and self-compassion, and the results of the present study found the same non-significant relationship (refer to Table 3).…”

Relationships between the identity styles (informational, normative, and diffuseavoidant), compassionate love for humanity, self-compassion, and quiet ego were explored. To date, no research has examined relationships between these constructs. Three hundred four individuals (84 men and 220 women) completed self-report measures of identity style, compassionate love for humanity, self-compassion, and quiet ego. Participants were members of an age range referred to as emerging adults (ages 18 to 29). Seven hypotheses were investigated, including whether: (1) there will be a significant positive relationship between the informational identity style and quiet ego; (2) there will be a significant negative relationship between the normative identity style and quiet ego; (3) there will be a significant negative relationship between the diffuse-avoidant identity style and quiet ego; (4) the informational identity style positively predicts quiet ego, with high self-compassion being a mediating factor; (5) the informational identity style positively predicts quiet ego, with high compassionate love for humanity being a mediating factor; (6) the normative identity style negatively predicts quiet ego, with low compassionate love for humanity being a mediating factor; and (7) the diffuse-avoidant identity style negatively predicts quiet ego, with low self-compassion being a mediating factor. Data analyses were carried out using the statistical software SPSS to conduct correlations and hierarchical multiple regressions, in order to examine the hypotheses. Results indicated that quiet ego was significantly positively correlated with the informational identity style, and significantly negatively correlated with the normative and diffuse-avoidant identity styles. Furthermore, the positive relationship between the informational identity style and quiet ego was partially mediated by compassionate love for humanity. The negative relationship between the normative identity style and quiet ego was linearly impacted, but not mediated, by compassionate love for you, Dr. Susan Burke, for your feedback and kindness during this process. Dr. Linda O'Neill, I am so lucky to have had you with me during this degree. Your positivity, feedback, and optimism allow me to dream bigger and go after my goals. Also, I would like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Sherry Beaumont for sharing your knowledge with me during this study. It was incredible to have an expert in the area available, and I am so very appreciative of all your assistance during this research. Next, thank you Dr. Serena George for being an incredible mentor in the counselling program. Your compassion, understanding, and empathy were very important to me, as I grew during this process. I am also so thankful for my coworkers at the Prince George Public Library, alongside my friends, brother, and parents. I appreciate you all for listening to me rambling on and on about school, sometimes for hours. Dr. Paul Siakaluk, I cannot thank you enough for all your guidance, help, and logical reasonin...

“…In the political field, political leaders with a quiet ego tend to be more oriented toward public service, less prone to selfishness, and more likely to make decisions based on the common good rather than personal interests (Chew and Ang, 2023 ). Individuals with a quiet ego are more inclined to manage conflicts constructively, seeking solutions that meet the diverse needs of the involved parties without being influenced by selfishness or the pursuit of personal power, thereby fostering citizens' trust and political stability.…”

“…Chew and Ang ( 2023 ) demonstrate how, given the reciprocal nature of the self and society, the possibility of developing a personal identity based on the quiet ego and self-compassion could promote a more inclusive, robust, and dynamic culture rooted in kindness and authenticity, thereby resulting in increased life satisfaction. These elements assume even greater relevance in specific life stages, such as adolescence, during which the ability to accept and appreciate one's uniqueness and differences from others facilitates the access to and expression of the true self.…”

IntroductionThe quiet ego indicates a more compassionate conception of self-identity that integrates others into the self by lowering the intensity of the ego and enhancing the awareness of the present moment. The Quiet Ego Scale (QES) is a 14-item self-report measure of quiet ego, and it is composed of the following four psychological domains: detached awareness, inclusive identity, perspective taking, and growth. The present study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Quiet Ego Scale within the Italian cultural context (iQES).MethodsA total of 160 Italian university students aged between 20 and 42 years, with a mean age of 22.85 years (SD = 3.41), completed the measures of the iQES and of other psychological dimensions. The psychometrics properties of iQES were assessed based on its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity through comparisons with other correlated psychological measures.ResultsAnalyses confirmed the psychometrics properties of iQES. As in previous studies, the quiet ego was positively associated with the indicators of resilience (p < 0.01), happiness (p < 0.05), self-esteem (p < 0.01), and psychological wellbeing (p < 0.01).DiscussionThe study discussed the possible uses of the iQES in the field of mental health, specifically focusing on improving adherence to psychological therapies and enhancing psychological and social well-being. The results indicated strong psychometric properties of the iQES in measuring the quiet ego construct. Our findings enrich the literature on the validity of the iQES and highlight the multidimensional nature of the quiet ego construct.

“…One plausible explanation could be the multifaceted nature of the quiet ego, which extends beyond academic disciplines. While STEM fields emphasise technical proficiency, the development of a quiet ego might be influenced by various individual and environmental factors [29]. Non-attachment involves relinquishing excessive fixation on desires and expectations, encompassing both material and relational aspects.…”

This study investigates the role of eudaimonic factors such as ‘quiet ego’ and ‘non-attachment’ in fostering resilience among young adults in urban India, examining the interplay of these constructs with gender, social media usage, and psychological profiles. Utilising a sample of 200 participants aged 20-25 from urban India, this study employed the ‘Quiet Ego Scale’, ‘Non-attachment Scale’, and ‘The Resilience Scale’. Data were analysed using t-tests and ANOVA on R-Jamovi. The findings indicate significant gender differences, with males exhibiting higher scores in non-attachment and resilience than females. Additionally, participants with lower to moderate social media usage (1-2 hours per day) displayed greater resilience compared to heavy users (more than 3 hours/day). These results suggest that gender and social media habits significantly influence resilience in young adults. This knowledge can inform the development of targeted interventions and support systems that cater to diverse groups based on their unique psychological needs and social habits.
