Citations in the corpus
- Homo Curious: Curious or Interested? (2019, background): “A complete understanding of curiosity has long been impeded by the conceptual confusion created by the frequent use of situational interest and curiosity as synonyms in empirical studies and general conversation (Grossnickle 2016).”
- Process Account of Curiosity and Interest: A Reward-Learning Perspective (2018, background): “This idea is consistent with a social-cognitive view of personality development (Williams and Cervone 1998) and explains why curiosity and interest can be described as both state and trait (Grossnickle 2014).”
- Interest Development and Its Relation to Curiosity: Needed Neuroscientific Research (2019, background): “In her description of curiosity, Grossnickle (2016; see also Alexander and Grossnickle 2016) focused on definitions and measurements of curiosity, as well as on how curiosity is distinct from interest.”
- The five-dimensional curiosity scale: Capturing the bandwidth of curiosity and identifying four unique subgroups of curious people (2018, background): “Most research on trait curiosity examines curiosity as a lowerlevel facet using scales that target it directly (Grossnickle, 2016).”
- A Case for Domain-Specific Curiosity in Mathematics (2019, background): “…ability Although social psychologists and educational scholars have studied curiosity for decades (Berlyne 1960; Dewey 1910), curiosity has recently garnered renewed attention within educational psychology (e.g., Grossnickle 2016; Jirout et al. 2018; Muis et al. 2015b; Park et al. 2017).”
