AI Article Synopsis
- Dickens and Murphy argue that the existing Authentic and Hubristic Pride (AP/HP) scales are not valid due to their inability to accurately measure the theoretical concepts of pride, suggesting instead that new scales should be developed using a top-down methodology.
- The authors of the original AP/HP scales disagree, providing evidence supporting the validity of their measures and arguing that the bottom-up approach they utilized is more effective.
- While they acknowledge areas for improvement in the AP/HP scales and endorse Dickens and Murphy's call for ongoing research, they advocate for a "living document" approach to enhance the scales further.
Article Abstract
Dickens and Murphy (see record 2023-63008-001) claim that the Authentic and Hubristic Pride (i.e., AP/HP) scales (see record 2007-02840-009), which we developed and validated over 15 years ago, do not validly assess the theoretical constructs of authentic and hubristic pride (e.g., Tracy & Robins, 2004a, 2007). These authors further call for the development of new measures based on a top-down approach, which would incorporate the theory into scale items. Although we appreciate Dickens and Murphy's emphasis on the need for valid assessment tools in this important research domain, we disagree with their conclusion that the extant scales are "fundamentally invalid." Here, we explain why a top-down approach would not be preferable to the bottom-up one we used and review the relatively large body of evidence supporting the validity of the extant AP/HP scales. Dickens and Murphy also raised several concerns regarding the HP scale specifically; most of these, as we explain, are either incorrect, exaggerated, or valid concerns but not ones that invalidate the HP scale. Nonetheless, we agree with Dickens and Murphy's suggestion that the AP/HP scales could be improved, and we echo their call for future research in this vein. Finally, we recommend that scholars seeking to advance the field in this way adopt the "living document" approach advocated by Gerasimova (2022).

View Article and Find Full Text PDFPride has rarely been explored in the context of moral disengagement and unethical decision-making. Although some research has examined the associations between "authentic" and "hubristic" pride and unethical behaviour, little attention has been paid to potential mechanisms. Across two correlational studies ( = 379), we explore the associations between two facets of pride rooted on comparisons - social comparison-based pride, and self-based pride, moral disengagement, and unethical decision-making.

Département de Médecine de Famille et Médecine d'urgence, Université de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada; Centre de formation médicale du Nouveau-Brunswick, Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada; Vitalité Health Network, Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada.
Purpose: Half of adolescents are trying to change their weight and body-related self-conscious emotions may influence these intentions. We estimated associations between body-related shame, guilt, embarrassment, envy, authentic pride, and hubristic pride and weight control status (trying to maintain, lose, or gain weight) throughout adolescence in girls and boys.
Methods: Six annual cycles of self-administered questionnaires were collected from age 12-17 in the Monitoring Activities of Teenagers to Comprehend their Habits (MATCH) study (n = 776).
How does it feel to be greedy? The role of pride in avaricious acquisition.
J Pers
April 2024
Department of Psychology, The University of British Columbia, British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
Background: Psychologists define greed as a desire to acquire more and the dissatisfaction of never having enough, but studies have not examined the psychological processes that underlie and sustain this disposition. We propose that a desire to attain pride might be one emotional mechanism that promotes greedy acquisition. In this account, greedy people experience a boost of pride from acquisition but these feelings are short-lived, potentially leading to the perpetual acquisitiveness characteristic of dispositional greed.
