鉴于好奇心在动机、学习和幸福感中的基本作用，我们试图用一个改进版的好奇心和探索量表（CEI）来完善对特质好奇心的测量。初步池的36个项目管理311名本科生，谁也完成了情绪，情绪调节，个性和幸福的措施。因素分析表明，两个因素模型的动机，寻求知识和新的经验（拉伸; 5项）和愿意拥抱的小说，不确定的，不可预测的性质，日常生活（拥抱; 5项）。在另外两个样本（ns = 150和119）中，我们交叉验证了这个因素结构，并提供了初步的证据结构效度。这包括与个人成长、经验开放性、自主性、生活目标、自我接受、心理灵活性、积极影响和积极社会关系等的正相关性。应用项目反应理论（IRT）对这些样本（n = 578），我们发现，项目具有良好的区分度和理想的难度广度。项目信息函数和测验信息函数的中心值均接近于零，表明该量表对潜在好奇特质的中等范围的评估最为可靠。迄今为止的研究结果提供了很好的证据的10项CEI-II的心理测量特性。
Given curiosity’s fundamental role in motivation, learning, and well-being, we sought to refine the measurement of trait curiosity with an improved version of the Curiosity and Exploration Inventory (CEI). A preliminary pool of 36 items was administered to 311 undergraduate students, who also completed measures of emotion, emotion regulation, personality, and well-being. Factor analyses indicated a two factor model—motivation to seek out knowledge and new experiences (Stretching; 5 items) and a willingness to embrace the novel, uncertain, and unpredictable nature of everyday life (Embracing; 5 items). In two additional samples (ns = 150 and 119), we cross-validated this factor structure and provided initial evidence for construct validity. This includes positive correlations with personal growth, openness to experience, autonomy, purpose in life, self-acceptance, psychological flexibility, positive affect, and positive social relations, among others. Applying item response theory (IRT) to these samples (n = 578), we showed that the items have good discrimination and a desirable breadth of difficulty. The item information functions and test information function were centered near zero, indicating that the scale assesses the mid-range of the latent curiosity trait most reliably. The findings thus far provide good evidence for the psychometric properties of the 10-item CEI-II.
