In recent years, an upsurge of polarization has been a salient feature of political discourse in America. A small but growing body of research has examined the potential relevance of intellectual humility (IH) to political polarization. In the present investigation, we extend this work to political myside bias, testing the hypothesis that IH is associated with less bias in two community samples (N₁ = 498; N₂ = 477). In line with our expectations, measures of IH were negatively correlated with political myside bias across paradigms, political topics, and samples. These relations were robust to controlling for humility. We also examined ideological asymmetries in the relations between IH and political myside bias, finding that IH–bias relations were statistically equivalent in members of the political left and right. Notwithstanding important limitations and caveats, these data establish IH as one of a small handful psychological features known to predict less political myside bias.

近年来，两极分化的高涨已成为美国政治话语的一个显着特征。一小部分但不断增长的研究已经检验了智力谦逊 (IH) 与政治两极分化的潜在相关性。在目前的调查中，我们将这项工作扩展到政治偏见，在两个社区样本中检验 IH 与较少偏见相关的假设 ( N ₁ = 498; N ₂= 477)。与我们的预期一致，IH 的测量与范式、政治主题和样本之间的政治偏见呈负相关。这些关系对于控制谦逊是稳健的。我们还检查了 IH 和政治偏向之间关系中的意识形态不对称，发现 IH-偏见关系在政治左翼和右翼成员中在统计上是等效的。尽管存在重要的限制和警告，但这些数据将 IH 确立为少数已知可以预测较少政治偏见的心理特征之一。
