- Summary:
-
Based on hypotheses on relationships between curiosity, anxiety, and performance, this study correctly predicted that high state curiosity students had lower levels of state anxiety and performed better in the computer-assisted instruction learning program than low state curiosity students. One hundred and fifty-two female undergraduates were equally assigned to Curiosity-Stimulating Instruction (CSI) or No Instruction (NI) groups. The hypothesis that the CSI students would perform better than the NI students was only partially supported. Contrary to predictions neither state anxiety nor state curiosity differed for students in CSI and NI conditions. The author concluded that the State Epistemic Curiosity Scale was found to have a high internal consistency and substantial concurrent and construct validity. (MC)
