Humildad intelectual y confianza

The problem of mistrust cannot be solved by increasing trust indiscriminately; rather, we need tools that help people trust more in what is credible and doubt what is not. In this review we argue that intellectual humility, a willingness to acknowledge the limitations of one's knowledge and beliefs, has much to offer in this regard. We review evidence suggesting that intellectual humility (1) helps people discern what is trustworthy, (2) helps credible sources be perceived as more trustworthy, and (3) helps facilitate trusting relationships across deep socio-political divides. Implications are discussed. Cultivating intellectual humility offers a promising means of fostering a more discerning, informed, and connected public.
