Summary
This study developed and validated the Cultural Humility Scale for Students (CHS-S) for middle and high schoolers. Findings show teacher cultural humility positively impacts student trust and relationships, especially for minority students.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Sociology of Education
- Psychometrics
Background:
- Cultural humility is crucial for effective teacher-student relationships.
- Existing measures may not adequately capture student perceptions of teacher cultural humility.
- Developing a student-centered scale is necessary to assess this construct in K-12 settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate the Cultural Humility Scale for Students (CHS-S).
- To examine the relationship between teacher cultural humility and teacher-student relationship quality.
- To explore differences in perceptions based on student demographics.
Main Methods:
- Adaptation of the Cultural Humility Scale for use with K-12 students.
- Two studies involving large samples of middle (N=1522) and high school (N=1612) students.
- Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, measurement invariance testing, and regression analyses.
Main Results:
- The CHS-S demonstrated a robust two-factor structure (positive and negative items).
- Teacher cultural humility was positively associated with teacher-student relationship quality, including trust and communication.
- Girls reported higher teacher cultural humility than boys; Black students reported higher trust than White students when teacher cultural humility was high.
Conclusions:
- The CHS-S is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring student perceptions of teacher cultural humility.
- Perceived teacher cultural humility is a significant predictor of positive teacher-student relationships.
- Findings support the use of the CHS-S to evaluate school climate and inform culturally responsive teaching practices.

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

01:18Cognitive Development During Adolescence
79
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

01:30Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development
58
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

01:17Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence
161
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and...

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...
