In recent years, an upsurge of polarization has been a salient feature of political discourse in America. A small but growing body of research has examined the potential relevance of intellectual humility (IH) to political polarization. In the present investigation, we extend this work to political myside bias, testing the hypothesis that IH is associated with less bias in two community samples ( = 498; = 477). In line with our expectations, measures of IH were negatively correlated with political myside bias across paradigms, political topics, and samples. These relations were robust to controlling for humility. We also examined ideological asymmetries in the relations between IH and political myside bias, finding that IH-bias relations were statistically equivalent in members of the political left and right. Notwithstanding important limitations and caveats, these data establish IH as one of a small handful psychological features known to predict less political myside bias.
近年来，两极分化在美国的政治话语中是一个显著特征。有一小部分但不断增长的研究已经研究了知识分子的谦逊（IH）与政治两极分化的潜在相关性。在本研究中，我们将这项工作扩展到政治偏向，检验 IH 与两个社区样本（n=498；n=477）中较少偏见之间的假设。与我们的预期一致，IH 的衡量标准与跨范式、政治主题和样本的政治偏向呈负相关。在控制谦逊后，这些关系仍然很牢固。我们还研究了 IH 与政治偏向之间关系的意识形态不对称性，发现 IH-偏见关系在政治左派和右派成员中在统计学上是相等的。尽管存在重要的限制和警告，但这些数据确立了 IH 作为少数几个已知可预测较少政治偏向的心理特征之一。
