A Case for Domain-Specific Curiosity in Mathematics (2019, background): “For instance, Litman (2010) identifies a qualitative distinction between interest-type epistemic curiosity and deprivation-type epistemic curiosity.”
Validity of the Interest- and Deprivation-type epistemic curiosity distinction in non-students (2010, background): “First, consistent with the view that the activation of D-type EC involves some negative emotional experiences, the CFDS is found positively correlated with scales that measure anxiety, depression, and anger, whereas the positively valenced I-type ECS is found to be negatively correlated or unrelated”
Students' level of boredom, boredom coping strategies, epistemic curiosity, and graded performance (2016, methodology): “The results showed that undergraduate students’ epistemic curiosity was best explained by two interrelated factors: interest-type epistemic curiosity and deprivation-type epistemic curiosity (see, for similar results, Litman, 2010).”
Disentangling Curiosity: Dimensionality, Definitions, and Distinctions from Interest in Educational Contexts (2014, methodology): “…explorations through questions and appeals to other individuals for information (Dewey 1910) or a desire to know about other people (Renner 2006) A need or desire for knowledge, information, or the exploration of academic environments (Kang et al. 2009; Litman 2010) Breadth vs. Depth curiosity”
Children's Scientific Curiosity: In Search of an Operational Definition of an Elusive Concept. (2012, background): “between I-type and the same aversive constructs (Litman, 2010), as well as different knowledge states associated with I- and D-type curiosity (Litman, Hutchins, & Russon, 2005).”
Homo Curious: Curious or Interested? (2019, background): “…of an individual to seek new information; Kashdan et al. 2004; Litman and Silvia 2006), for which several frameworks have been suggested to account for its multifaceted nature (Litman 2005, 2010; Reio et al. 2006), comparable attempts have been scarce for state curiosity (Kidd and Hayden 2015).”
Epistemic curiosity and self-regulation (2015, background): “It correlates positively with openness, preference for novelty, tolerance of ambiguity and expressions of positive affect, but correlates negatively with negative affective experiences (Litman, 2010; Litman & Mussel, 2013).”
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).”
The five-dimensional curiosity scale: Capturing the bandwidth of curiosity and identifying four unique subgroups of curious people (2018, unknown): “These divergent perspectives of curiosity, being oriented toward the pleasure of discovery versus the reduction of information gaps, emerge as distinct (although highly related) factors in correlational research (Litman, 2010; Litman, Crowson, & Kolinski, 2010; Litman & Mussel, 2013).”
