Modesty-Humility

The 2004 book “Character Strengths and Virtues” defines humility as “letting one’s accomplishments speak for themselves; not seeking the spotlight; not regarding oneself as more special than one is.”

Key research findings about humility include

  • Humility is a central attribute of youth who have established a sense of purpose.
  • Views and expressions of humility vary from culture to culture. Youth from collectivist cultures report more favorable attitudes towards modest behaviors than their counterparts from individualistic cultures.
