• Bringing humility to leadership: Antecedents and consequences of leader humility (2005, background): “One of the more interesting attempts to measure humility was that of Rowatt et al. (2002) who operationalized humility as the magnitude of the difference between individuals’ evaluation of self and others.”
• Humility and the Development and Repair of Social Bonds: Two Longitudinal Studies (2013, unknown): “Researchers have employed several strategies to measure humility (see Davis, Worthington et al, 2010 , for a review), including self-reports (Lee & Ashton, 2004 ), self-enhancement measures (Rowatt, Ottenbreit, Nesselroade, & Cunningham, 2002 ), implicit measures (Rowatt et al, 2006 ), and other”
• Patterns and Personality Correlates of Implicit and Explicit Attitudes Toward Christians and Muslims (2005, background): “The strong association between anti-Arab racism and attitudes toward Muslims could also be due to pervasive in-group/out-group biases (i.e., thinking that one’s in-group is better than out-groups; see Rowatt et al. 2002 ).”
• Development and initial validation of an implicit measure of humility relative to arrogance (2006, background): “People who are genuinely humble usually display respectfulness, willingness to admit imperfections, and a lack of selffocus or self-serving biases (Emmons, 2000; Exline et al., 2004; Myers, 1995; Peterson & Seligman, 2004; Rowatt, Ottenbreit, Nesselroade Jr, & Cunningham, 2002; Tangney, 2002).”
• Humility: Review of measurement strategies and conceptualization as personality judgment (2010, background): “Since the publication of Rowatt et al. (2002), important advancements have occurred within the selfenhancement literature that might be used to study humility.”
