Assessment name: Specific
Intellectual Humility Scale (SIHS)
Scale overview: The Specific Intellectual Humility Scale (SIHS) is a
nine-item self-report measure of humility in a specific domain, topic, or area
of interest such as politics or religion.
Authors: Rick H. Hoyle and others (2016)
Response Type: Participants rate each item on a five-point scale of
degree of how much the item applies to them. The anchor points range from not
at all like me to very much like me.
Scale items: Each item has a blank to be filled in by the
researchers who wish to assess a specific area of humility.
Examples
My views about _____ are
just as like to be wrong as other views.
When it comes to my views
about _____ I may be overlooking evidence.
Psychometric properties
Coefficient alpha values
were high in several studies for the 9-item version.
Coefficient alphas ranged
from .77 to .86 for an abbreviated 3-item version.
CFA evidence supported a
single factor for the construct.
The authors reported
reasonable correlations with other measures providing early support for validity.
Correlations between SIHS
and a measure of general intellectual humility ranged from .24 to .63 depending
on the topic in one study.
Availability: The full set of nine items can be found in Table 1 of
the article by Rick H. Hoyle et al. (2016).
