TLDR
In this paper, a second-order factor was used to predict the subscales of the Relational Humility Scale (RHS) and the Modesty facet of the HEXACO-PI.Abstract:
Although many scholars have sharply distinguished humility from modesty, several research teams recently conceptualized modesty as a subdomain of humility. In the present study, we compare these competing conceptualizations using confirmatory factor analyses. In Study 1, a model with general humility (i.e. second-order factor) predicting the subscales of the Relational Humility Scale (RHS) and the Modesty facet of the HEXACO-PI showed adequate fit; and modesty showed one of the stronger factor loadings on the higher order factor. In Study 2, we used a set of items designed to sharpen the potential distinction between modesty (i.e. interpersonal behavior involving moderating attention to self) and humility. Then, we tested a model with a general humility factor (i.e. second-order factor) predicting subscales of the RHS and modesty items. Once again, modesty items loaded strongly on the higher order factor.read more

Objects look different sizes in the right and left eyes
I. C. McManus,Julia Tomlinson +1 more
TL;DR: There was no association with eye dominance, and therefore the Coren and Porac finding could not be repeated, but there was however a very significant association with handedness, left-handed subjects tending to report that the stimulus in the right eye looked larger, and right- handed subjects reporting that the stimuli in the left eye looked smaller.
Social cognitive predictors of sun protection intention and behaviour

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated sunbathing behaviour and intention prospectively using the theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and found that self-efficacy and perceived control were highly correlated with respect to sun-bathing behavior.

Embarrassment of riches in the measurement of humility: A critical review of 22 measures
Stacey E. McElroy-Heltzel,Don E. Davis,Cirleen DeBlaere,Everett L. Worthington,Joshua N. Hook +4 more
TL;DR: This article argued that due to theoretical innovations, measures have proliferated in recent years, and that humility science now faces a challenge with intractable measurement problems, which is not the case less than ten years ago.

State humility: Measurement, conceptual validation, and intrapersonal processes
TL;DR: This paper developed the Brief State Humility Scale, which demonstrates strong construct validity and good reliability, is sensitive to experimental manipulation, and is uncorrelated with social desirability, and revealed links between state humility and intrapersonal processes.

Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis : Conventional criteria versus new alternatives
Li-tze Hu,Peter M. Bentler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...

Evaluating Goodness-of-Fit Indexes for Testing Measurement Invariance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the change in the goodness-of-fit index (GFI) when cross-group constraints are imposed on a measurement model and found that the change was independent of both model complexity and sample size.

Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification
TL;DR: The classification of strengths presented in this article is intended to reclaim the study of character and virtue as legitimate topics of psychological inquiry and informed societal discourse, by providing ways of talking about character strengths and measuring them across the life span.

Four ways five factors are basic
Paul T. Costa,Robert R. McCrae +1 more
TL;DR: The five-factor model has recently received wide attention as a comprehensive model of personality traits as mentioned in this paper, and the claim that these five factors represent basic dimensions of personality is based on four lines of reasoning and evidence: longitudinal and cross-observer studies demonstrate that all five factors are enduring dispositions that are manifest in patterns of behavior.
