A Case for Domain-Specific Curiosity in Mathematics (2019, background): “In contrast, individuals with higher trait curiosity are typically characterized as experiencing curiosity more frequently across contexts by being more receptive to curiosityinducing experiences and by seeking opportunities to experience curiosity (Kashdan et al. 2004; Litman 2008).”
Students' level of boredom, boredom coping strategies, epistemic curiosity, and graded performance (2016, methodology): “It has been variously labeled as, for example, interpersonal curiosity (Litman & Pezzo, 2007), social curiosity (Renner, 2006), and epistemic curiosity (Berlyne, 1954; Litman, 2008), and examined in different lines of research such as psychology (e.”
Epistemic curiosity and self-regulation (2015, methodology): “As expected, the I/D scales correlated positively with one another, although the magnitude was lower than typically found (c.f. Litman, 2008).”
The interactional effects of atmospherics and perceptual curiosity on emotions and online shopping intention (2010, background): “Epistemic curiosity is defined as the desire that motivates individuals to learn new ideas, eliminate information gaps, and solve intellectual problems (Litman, 2008).”
Interest Development and Its Relation to Curiosity: Needed Neuroscientific Research (2019, background): “For purposes of clarification, we also call attention to the categorization of two different forms of curiosity introduced by Litman and his colleagues (e.g., Litman 2008, 2010; Litman and Mussel 2013): feelings of deprivation (D type) and feelings of interest (I type).”
Children's Scientific Curiosity: In Search of an Operational Definition of an Elusive Concept. (2012, methodology): “Measures of I-and D-curiosity were further refined to be a single scale including only 10 items, five for each dimension of curiosity, with support for the scale's validity and reliability (Litman, 2008).”
Process Account of Curiosity and Interest: A Reward-Learning Perspective (2018, background): “As indicated in our paper, there are a number of trait-level scales that aimed to understand the individual differences in different aspects of curiosity and interest (Kashdan et al. 2009; Litman 2008).”
Neural mechanisms underlying the induction and relief of perceptual curiosity (2012, background): “Another, orthogonal, distinction can be made between specific and diversive curiosity, referring to the desire for a particular piece of information versus the more general stimulation-seeking motive that is closely related to boredom (Berlyne, 1960; see Litman, 2008, for a related distinction).”
Relationships between measures of I- and D-type curiosity, ambiguity tolerance, and need for closure: An initial test of the wanting-liking model of information-seeking (2010, background): “For I-type curiosity, learning new information is rewarding because it induces positive feelings of enjoyment from engagement, entertainment or aesthetic pleasure associated with new information (Litman, 2005, 2008).”
Validity of the Interest- and Deprivation-type epistemic curiosity distinction in non-students (2010, methodology): “A 2-factor model comprising the 10 items previously identified by Litman (2008) had the best fit as compared to several competing models.”
Incurious Motives to Seek Information about Potential Threats (2010, background): “…out new information capable of reducing uncertainty is typically attributed to curiosity (Berlyne, 1966; Loewenstein, 1994), a motive that orients individuals to obtain knowledge expected to increase situational interest or improve understanding of something puzzling or complex (Litman, 2008).”
