Abstract | This report describes the development of a brief adjective checklist measure of curiosity. This checklist, designed to be used with elementary school children, is empirically-keyed and contains a built in check for rater bias. From an initial pool of 40 adjectives judged relevant to curiosity, a final set of 30 were selected after two item analyses using behavioral indices of curiosity. Evidence is presented which suggests that the scale defines a unitary dimension and yields valid rank-orderings for curiosity when used by a single teacher in a classroom. Evidence concerning the relationship between curiosity and standardized measures of intelligence and academic achievement is also presented. (Author) |
