Abstract
Humility is recognized as a potential virtue that promotes prosocial behavior and enhances interpersonal relationships. Despite the growing interest in humility, there remains a lack of studies examining its predictive power in specific prosocial behaviors. Considering this research gap, our study investigates the role of humility in predicting empathy and tolerance. Specifically, we examined whether more humble individuals show higher levels of empathy and tolerance towards those with different views. Furthermore, we examine whether the relationship between humility and tolerance is mediated by empathy. This was examined in a survey with 150 participants. Our findings present significant correlations between humility, empathy, and tolerance. Specifically, participants with higher levels of humility demonstrated higher levels of empathy and tolerance. Importantly, our results indicated that empathy significantly mediated the relationship between humility and tolerance. Our findings contribute to advance knowledge on humility and its implications for fostering prosocial behaviors.
