John Templeton Foundation/Fuller Theological Seminary’s School of Psychology/Travis Research: Intellectual Humility: Psychological and Evolutionary Dynamics - Letter of Intent

This project thus seeks to:
• Support research on some under-explored areas in the psychology and evolution of intellectual humility/arrogance;
• Foster critical engagement between those who work in the cognitive and evolutionary sides of this topic;
• Digest the results of work in the field in order to advance its philosophical and theological significance;
• Assess the relevance of the results to determine the impediments to intellectual humility, and to identify concrete strategies for overcoming these native tendencies.
Investigators (individual or teams) from the psychological sciences and other relevant empirical sciences are invited to request from $50K up to $270K for a research project of up to 2 years in length. We aim to support 16 research projects of up to 2 years in length, totaling $4,000,000 in awards.
