This study examined the role of humility in romantic relationships. Specifically, a theoretical model was tested in which perceptions of humility are associated with self-forgiveness and partner forgiveness in romantic relationships, which are in turn associated with relationship satisfaction. A sample of emerging adult females (N = 152), who reported being in a romantic relationship completed measures of self-reported humility, self-forgiveness, partner forgiveness, and relationship satisfaction. Serial mediation analyses were conducted using structural equation modeling procedures. Perceptions of humility were not related to relationship satisfaction directly. Significant indirect effects through self-forgiveness and partner forgiveness did serially mediate the influence of humility on relationship satisfaction. Findings are discussed as well as limitations and implications for research and clinical practice. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Family and Child Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Summer Semester 2016. / June 22, 2016. / Emerging Adult, Forgiveness, Humility, Mediation, Relationship Satisfaction / Includes bibliographical references. / Lenore McWey, Professor Directing Dissertation; Robert L.
