A sample of 225 adolescents completed Rothbart's Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (EATQ-R), a 4-factor temper...

The structure of the English personality lexicon was investigated using self-ratings (N = 310) on a set of 1,710 personality-trait adjectives.

In the 6-factor solution an additional factor, defined by terms such as unpretentious v...

In Chapter 1, I review 22 measures of humility, including (a) survey measu...
