Disentangling Curiosity: Dimensionality, Definitions, and Distinctions from Interest in Educational Contexts (2014, background): “…a history of being used synonymously with concepts such as interest (Bowler 2010; Kashdan 2004; Silvia 2006), need for cognition (Mussel 2010), intellectual engagement (Mussel 2010), openness to experience (Mussel et al. 2011), sensation seeking (Byman 2005), and wonder (Schmitt and Lahroodi 2008).”
Epistemic curiosity and self-regulation (2015, background): “Given I- and D-type EC’s shared association with knowledgeseeking, unsurprisingly, scores on measures of EC typically show strong convergence with one another (Mussel, 2010) and with related constructs (Litman, Collins, & Spielberger, 2005).”
The five-dimensional curiosity scale: Capturing the bandwidth of curiosity and identifying four unique subgroups of curious people (2018, unknown): “Other scales have built upon earlier distinctions made by Berlyne (1960), such as breadth versus depth of curiosity (Ainley, 1987), and epistemic, sensory, and perceptual curiosity (Collins, Litman, & Spielberger, 2004; Litman, Collins, & Spielberger, 2005; Litman & Spielberger, 2003; Mussel, 2010).”
