Situation-Based Contingencies Underlying Wisdom-Content Manifestations: Examining Intellectual Humility in Daily Life

Abstract

These results offer new directions for research on the expression of wisdom-related characteristics in daily life.

Evidence-Based Training of Wisdom in Business and Management: Use of Scientific Insights About Malleability of Practical Wisdom for Rigorous Interventions

“…In another set of studies comparing wise reasoning about several interpersonal situations on the same participants indicated that stability was also modest when testing responses to the different interpersonal conflicts in the same session, or when examining test-retest stability in wise reasoning scores collected from the same participants several years apart (Brienza, Kung, Santos, Bobocel, & Grossmann, 2017a, b). Finally, significant variability was also observed in a recent experience sampling study of intellectual humility (Zachry et al 2018).…”

Changes in daily manifestations of Openness to Experience during intensive cognitive‐behavioral treatment

“…Intensive longitudinal methods (e.g., capturing states of Openness throughout the day) such as experience sampling may help characterize shorter momentary states and address potential biases in recall that can affect even brief daily time frames (Shiffmann, Stone, & Hufford, ). In addition, it may also be fruitful to examine momentary Openness as enacted in relevant and specific types of situations (e.g., interpersonal conflict, exposure to new situations), a method already used to study other momentary personality states (e.g., Grossmann, Gerlach, & Denissen, ; Zachry, Phan, Blackie, & Jayawickreme, ). Second, the generalizability of these findings is also restricted by the present sample’s limited ethnoracial diversity.…”

Owning One’s Intellectual Limitations: A Review of Intellectual Humility

“…Like self-esteem, IH can be seen as a trait that varies from one individual to another, i.e., in general, how intellectually humble an individual is in different situations and at different times. It also can be seen as a state that changes within persons, i.e., how intellectually humble an individual is in a specific situation or at a specific time (Zachry et al, 2018). Therefore, we can conclude that IH is constant to some extent but may change at a given time due to internal or external factors.…”

“…Relationships between the general IH and several kinds of specific IH (e.g., politics, religion, and education, et al) were also investigated using these two scales, and only slight correlations were found. Zachry et al (2018) distinguished between trait IH and state IH and developed a scale to measure them by only changing verb tense (e.g., for trait IH: "I view the challenging of my ideas as an opportunity to grow and learn" & for state IH: "I viewed the challenging of my ideas as an opportunity to grow and learn"). This scale has been proven to have only one factor and good convergent and discriminant validity.…”
