“…For this study however, the relevance of curiosity is to be understood. The above study found that curiosity had no role to play as a predictor [5]. It makes one wonder at the thought of could being curious make oneself happy?…”

Purpose: Curiosity is the basis of learning anything new. Children possess heightened curiosity than adults. Several studies have explored the relationship between curiosity and motivation. This trait is also found to enhance learning in children. Does this trait have similar significance in visually impaired children as sighted children? This study aims to understand the difference between the two groups with the standardized Curiosity and Explorative Inventory (CEI-II.). Most of the learning is by observing and seeing. In the absence of this in visual impairment, the ability to become curious becomes limited. Embracing new ideas and learning them can provide insight to their open-mindedness. The explorative nature of curiosity renders in personal growth and personality development. This study opens up areas like motivation, personal growth, and approach to learning new things to be explored as potential areas for future researchers. Design/Methodology/Approach: This comparative study would be based on an equal number of participants of 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th standard groups of children who are sighted and visually impaired. Findings/Result: This study aims to determine the difference and relationship between curiosity levels of sighted and visually impaired school students. Originality/Value: Curiosity trait among visually impaired children compared to those of sighted children in an Indian context is being explored in this study. Paper Type: Comparative analysis based paper.

The study of curiosity as a construct has led to many conceptualisations, comprising of different dimensions. Due to this, various scales of curiosity have also been developed. Moreover, some researchers have conceived of curiosity as a general trait-like, while others have included contexts, such as the workplace, or education when investigating curiosity. This scoping review aims to scope the extant psychological literature on curiosity in order to better understand how it has been studied, specifically with regard to its dimensions, measures, and contexts. A total of 1194 records were identified, with 245 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Results suggest that the majority of curiosity research examined curiosity as having multiple dimensions and analysed the dimensions individually, with a deprivation-type curiosity playing the biggest role. The measure most commonly used was the Epistemic Curiosity Scale, which also consisted of a deprivation-type curiosity as one of the dimensions. Findings also implied that curiosity was most studied in the context of the workplace. Supplementary findings included a lack of representation of non-Western countries, as well as needing to cross-validate a recently developed curiosity scale. This scoping review represents a consolidation of the curiosity literature and how it can further prosper.
