Objective: The purpose of this research is to standardize and validate the intellectual humility scale.Intellectual humility means that a person knows and admits that he is not superior or better than others, and that he does not become arrogant in the field of thought, judgment, feeling, and special attachment to his thoughts and opinions, because it deprives him of the possibility of impartial judgment.
Method: The current research is applied in terms of purpose and correlational in terms of method. The statistical population of the research included all students of Urmia University in 1402-1403, of which 335 people were selected through available sampling. Data were collected online. The tools used were intellectual humility scale and communication humility scale, self-efficacy scale and gratitude scale. In order to determine validity, confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity and face validity were used, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient and test-retest reliability were used to check reliability. Data were also analyzed by SPSS-23 and Amos software.
Findings: The results of confirmatory factor analysis yielded an acceptable fit for the existing structure of the questionnaire for the four factors of independence of logic and self, openness to reconsidering one's point of view, respect for the point of view of others, and lack of intellectual prejudice. Also, the concurrent validity results showed that the questionnaire has good validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficients also showed that the reliability of the four factors is from 0.62 to 0.86, which shows that the questionnaire has acceptable reliability, and the convergent validity of the scale showed that there is a significant correlation between the scale of intellectual humility and communication humility, self-efficacy, gratitude has it.
Conclusion: According to the findings of this research, the intellectual humility scale has good psychometric properties and can be used as a suitable tool to investigate intellectual humility. This tool has good validity and reliability.
