Psychologists have found a positive link between humility and willingness to help the needy.

Dr. Wade Rowatt, from Baylor University in Texas, said, "Our discovery here is that the understudied trait of humility predicts helpfulness. Important next steps will be to figure out whether humility can be cultivated and if humility is beneficial in other contexts, such as scientific and medical advancements or leadership development."
The findings have been published in the journal Positive Psychology.
