“…The Open-minded cognition (OMC) scale was introduced as a measure of willingness to consider ideas, values, and beliefs inconsistent with one's own, and of unbiased information processing. Although some evidence has been previously reported supporting the discriminant validity and reliability of this measure in its initial publication (Price et al, 2016), we argued that existing evidence of its predictive validity was insufficient for two reasons.…”

“…OMC was associated with greater political tolerance (Studies 2a and 2b) and with less punitiveness (Study 2b, military officer), consistent with evidence from Studies 1a and 1b that OMC is associated with greater tolerance towards people from across the political spectrum. That said, one could argue that socially desirable responding might predict both higher levels of OMC (as OMC is correlated with Agreeableness, Price et al, 2015, a predictor of socially desirable responding, Kurtz, Tarquini, & Iobst, 2008;further, people generally value open-mindedness; Wilson, Ottati, & Price, 2016) as well as self-reported higher tolerance and less punitiveness.…”

We identify both limitations to and important omissions in predictive validity tests of the open-minded cognition (OMC) scale, an indicator politically biased information processing. In five studies, we test two hypotheses derived from the conceptualization of OMC: the OMC outgroup attitude and OMC bias attenuation hypotheses. We find that whereas OMC is associated with less prejudice overall, evidence is mixed that it reduces prejudice towards attitudinally dissimilar groups, a key aspect of the OMC outgroup attitude hypothesis. We find mixed support for the OMC bias attenuation hypothesis: whereas OMC is associated with avoiding selective exposure to political information, it did not attenuate political biases across seven separate tests. We recommend further tests of the OMC scale’s predictive validity before its use to assess genuine differences in cognitive style.

“…The results of the research show that all village heads are seen by their officials and the community as open-minded and able to accept suggestions and input from other parties. Open-mindedness is seen as socially desirable when individuals find viewpoints that conform to conventional social norms (Wilson et al, 2017).…”

The village head has a key role in developing his village with various leadership styles in order to improve the village economy. One popular leadership style is transformational leadership. Therefore, this research aims to identify the implementation of transformational leadership in village institutions in improving the village economy. This research is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. This research was conducted using in-depth interviews with four village heads including village officials and business actors in Jombang Regency, including Ngampungan Village, Galengdowo Village, Wonomerto Village, and Carangwulung Village. This village was chosen because it has a fairly developed rural tourism in Jombang Regency. The research results show that the Head of Galengdowo Village has the highest level of application of transformational leadership among other village heads, followed by the Heads of Wonomerto and Carangwulung Villages who have similar characteristics.

“…Interestingly, this effect was stronger when describing a discussion opponent, because humility soothes a conflict and opens an opponent’s mind to one’s own view. On the other hand, IH across one’s own group is appreciated less because it raises the probability of acceptance of the others’ beliefs, which disrupts the default tendency to defend one’s own view (attitude justification hypothesis, see Wilson et al, 2017 ). Interesting effects regarding styles of leadership have also been revealed.…”

Though having been emphasised by philosophers and theologians for centuries, it is only in the last few years that the concept of intellectual humility has been explicitly defined and studied by empirical psychology. However, it has been long enough to recognise the prominent role that being intellectually humble plays for humane functioning, both at an intra- and inter-individual level. Having started with a broader philosophical and historical context, the present paper discusses the psychological conceptualisations of intellectual humility. Then the recent empirical studies are reviewed, including four strands of research referring to personality traits, cognitive functioning, social relations and religiosity. After presenting selected results, the prospects of psychological research on intellectual humility are discussed, including the limitations and challenges of measurement techniques as well as possible directions for future studies.
