Expansive other-regarding virtues and civic excellence
This paper is concerned with the civic significance and cultivation of three constructs that involve different ways of having an expansive and virtuous concern for others. Identification with all humanity involves caring for an expansive domain of others, identifying with humanity generally and not just with one’s ingroup. Others-centeredness involves caring about others to an expansive extent, putting others’ interests ahead of one’s own. Last, …
Links between intellectual humility and acquiring knowledge
Five studies (N = 1,189) examined how intellectual humility (IH) relates to acquiring knowledge (learning). IH was associated with more general knowledge, but was unrelated to cognitive ability, and associated with slightly lower GPA. Findings were also mixed for meta-cognition. IH was associated with less claiming of knowledge one doesn’t have, indicating a more accurate assessment of one’s knowledge. However, IH was also associated with underes…
Religion’s role in the illusion of gender equality: Supraliminal and subliminal religious priming increases benevolent sexism
Sexism has deep roots in human history, including most religious traditions. Many religious organizations and traditions, including Judeo-Christian beliefs, subtly approve of and espouse sexism.

Given these connections, we examined whether supraliminal or subliminal religious priming influences reported benevolent and hostile sexi…
A Social-Personality Perspective on Humility, Religiousness, and Spirituality
Two studies were conducted about humility and religiousness-spirituality dimensions of the self. In Study 1, a sample of adults self-reported their religious affiliation, humility, and narcissism. We found Protestant and Catholic adults self-reported being more humble-modest than non-religious adults. In Study 2, college students self-reported humility-modesty, humility-arrogance, and religiousness-spirituality and were rated on these same qualit…
Testing the love thy neighbor hypothesis: Religiosity’s association with positive attitudes toward ethnic/racial and value-violating out-groups
Most religions teach individuals to “love thy neighbor” where “neighbor” extends to out-group members. To date, the love thy neighbor hypothesis, which posits that religiosity is associated with tolerance toward out-group members, has been tested indirectly by examining religiosity’s association with negative (prejudiced) attitudes. The present study directly tested the love thy neighbor hypothesis by examining religiosity’s association with posi…
