Quality social relationships depend, in part, on deferring self-interest to another person or group. Being too arrogant or self-focused could negatively affect relationship quality. In two studies we examined possible connections between trait humility and social relationship quality (SRQ). Participants completed survey measures of each construct. Self and peer-reported humility correlated positively with SRQ, even when social desirability (Study 1) and other relevant personality dimensions (e.g., Big Five, agency, communion) were statistically controlled (Study 2). These findings indicate humility could be an important trait with regard to interpersonal relations. Implications are discussed for the cultivation of humility and its potential relevance in other social contexts.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the lived experiences of individuals who identify with multiple nationalities. As the world becomes increasingly global and more individuals migrate, it is becoming commonplace for individuals to identify with more than one nationality. Psychologists and mental health professionals need to be aware of the impact of having multiple nationalities integrated into one's identity in order to gain a deeper understanding and provide more effective treatment to these individuals. A phenomenological research design was utilized in this study.
