Kids today are growing up on social media, which seems to offer endless opportunities for self-promotion and self-absorption. Acquiring a habit of humility ( 谦 逊 )can be a peaceful counterbalance to help kids remain kind and grounded. Researchers have identified two different aspects of humility. On a personal level, humble people have a secure identity that is neither arrogant (傲慢的) nor conscious of their own shortcomings, and they're willing to accept new information. On a social level, humble people focus on others and see others as having the same worth as themselves.
Then, how does humility show up in children? To find it out, psychologist Judith Danovitch and her colleagues surveyed nearly 130 six to eight-year-old from Michigan. First, the researchers asked the children to rate how much they knew about twelve topics. Then, the children were consociated with a doctor to see how many questions their team could answer correctly about these topics. The children had to decide which team member would answer each question. Children who rated their knowledge as lower and asked the doctor questions were considered more humble.
The researchers measured those children's intelligence with a brief IQ test, and then askedthem to play a computer game while having their brain activity recorded, which allowed the researchers to see how children responded when they made mistakes during the game.
Overall, Danovitch and her colleagues found that older children showed greater humility than younger children, and regardless of age children who humbly rated their knowledge as lower were more intelligent. Also, kids who had humbly delegated (将 … … 给) questions to others"were more aware of having made a mistake and reflected on them," thus turning a difficult task into a learning opportunity.
Although we don't know exactly how to encourage humility in young kids yet, researchers have observed some things that humble kids have in common. In another relative study, purposeful youth expressed humility in interviews with the researchers. Humility and purpose working together seemed to help youth seek out mentors (良师益友)and work with like-minded peers. As with the kids playing the game, humility involves asking others for support—which could eventually help kids reach their goals."In each case, humility supported the youths' pursuit of purpose and vice versa,"Bronk explains."The two characteristics work
together to promote positive youth development."
