Confused or curious? Openness/intellect predicts more positive interest-confusion relations.

Abstract: Open people show greater interest in situations that are complex, novel, and difficult to understandsituations that may also be experienced as confusing. Here we investigate the possibility that openness/ intellect is centrally characterized by more positive relations between interest and confusion. Interest and confusion are key states experienced during engagement with information and learning. However, little is known about the within-person relation between them, let alone individual differences in this re… Show more

“…Note that participant x video variance also includes variance from measurement errors, which we cannot statistically separate. In most of the previous literature on epistemic emotions (e.g., Fayn et al, 2019;Fastrich et al, 2017;, withinperson variability reflected both the stimulus variance and participant x stimulus variance (i.e., video variance and participant x video variance in this study).…”

“…More specifically, we calculated within-person correlations for each participant (using video clips as the unit of analysis) and then computed the mean and SD of the correlations across participants (please see Table 5). Surprise in response to the trick, interest in the trick, and curiosity in the solution were highly correlated; however, there are also considerable individual differences (i.e., SD is relatively high), indicating that these three epistemic emotions are overlapping but distinct concepts, especially for particular individuals (Fayn et al 2019). The distributions of the within-person correlations were all unimodal but the distribution was also substantially skewed given the limit of correlation coefficients (-1 ≤ r ≤ 1) and large individual differences.…”

“…In the current study we have validated a stimulus set called Magic Curiosity Arousing Tricks (MagicCATs): a collection of 166 novel short magic trick video clips 1 A limited number of studies used different materials to elicit epistemic emotions such as blurred pictures (Jepma, Verdonschot, van Steenbergen, Rombouts, & Nieuwenhuis, 2012), visual arts (Silvia, 2005), and philosophical quotations (Fayn, Silvia, Dejonckheere, Verdonck, & Kuppens, 2019). that trigger people's epistemic emotions in experimental settings.…”
