    (UMT Lahore, 2022) Ms. Mahnoor; Uzma Nadeem; Rasil Mumtaz
    The current study investigated the relationship between sanctimoniousness, humility, and cynicism in middle and older adults. It was hypothesized that there is likely to be a positive relationship between sanctimoniousness, humility and cynicism in middle and older adults. Further, it was hypothesized that the relationship is predicted that sanctimoniousness, humility and cynicism are more likely to be in middle and older adults. A purposive sample of 200 of male and female from homes and different institutions in Lahore with age range 40-60 years for middle adults and 60 years onward for older adults. English translated version of The Self-Righteousness questionnaire (SRQ; Felbo & Belk ,1983), Cultural Humility Scale (Hook et al., 2013), Change Cynicism Scale (Helvaci, & Cavdar, 2017) was used. The results showed that, sanctimoniousness was negative predictor of cynicism whereas humility was found to be positive predictor of cynicism. The findings are discussed with reference to indigenous and western literature. The findings will be helpful in understanding the issue of rigid behavior in older adults and will be beneficial for their counseling.
