Overview

In the news

In study 1, we found that seeing scientists as higher in intellectual humility was associated with greater perceived trustworthiness of scientists and support for science-based beliefs.

Koetke, Schumann, Bowes, & Vaupotič (2024)

We then demonstrated that describing a scientist as high (versus low) in intellectual humility increased perceived trustworthiness of the scientist (studies 2–4), belief in their research (studies 2–4), intentions to follow their research-based recommendations (study 3) and information-seeking behaviour (study 4).

Koetke et al. (2024)

These studies reveal the benefits of seeing scientists as intellectually humble across medical, psychological and climate science topics.
