“…In most cases, participants' curiosity seemed motivated by a desire to know whether their therapists would be able to understand and relate to them. This finding seems consistent with research that has found that greater social curiosity helps individuals make more accurate personal judgments of others (Hartung & Renner, 2011) and aids in the recognition of similarities in others (Levitt et al, 2009). On the other hand, some literature has suggested that client curiosity about the therapist is motivated by the need to reduce early anxieties in the development of object relations (Ofer & Durban, 1999), and more recent conceptualizations of curiosity in general (e.g., Litman, 2019) have also implicated anxiety as a primary driver of curiosity.…”

Concerns over jeopardizing relationships as a result of being curious have also been noted in prior studies (Levitt et al, 2009).…”

“…For example, previous studies have found that curiosity can be associated with both positive and negative feelings (e.g. Levitt et al, 2009;Litman & Jimerson, 2004;Loewenstein, 1994). Some researchers also suggest that curiosity can be different depending on the type of stimulus (e.g., perceptual curiosity and epistemic curiosity; Berlyne, 1960); Furthermore, other researchers argued that curiosity is associated with different emotions depending on the stages of the psychological process (Noordewier & van Dijk, 2015).…”
