根据Berlyne（1954）的定义，感知好奇心涉及对新奇的感知刺激的兴趣和关注，并激发视觉和感官检查。本研究对320名大学生（女202名，男118名）进行了问卷调查。参与者还对状态-特质人格量表（STPI）的特质量表、感觉寻求量表（SSS）和新奇体验量表（NES）的选定子量表有反应。对知觉好奇（PC）项目的主轴因子分析发现了一个强的PC因子。斜向旋转时，发现了不同的特异性PC分量，并据此构建了子量表。PC量表及其子量表与NES和STPI好奇心量表、SSS和NES感觉寻求量表存在中度正相关，表明感知好奇心包括对知识和感官经验的寻求。个人人格量表的发散效度与STPI特质愤怒量表的相关性很小，与STPI特质焦虑和抑郁量表的相关性基本为零。(C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Perceptual curiosity, as defined by Berlyne (1954), involves interest in and giving attention to novel perceptual stimulation, and motivates visual and sensory-inspection. A 33-item questionnaire constructed to assess individual differences in perceptual curiosity was administered to 320 undergraduate students (202 females; 118 males). The participants also responded to the trait scales of the State-Trait Personality Inventory (STPI), and to selected subscales of the Sensation Seeking (SSS) and Novelty Experiencing (NES) scales. Principal axis factor analyses of the perceptual curiosity (PC) items identified a strong PC factor. With oblique rotation, diversive and specific PC components were found, from which subscales were constructed. Moderate positive correlations of the PC scale and subscales were found with the NES and STPI measures of curiosity and the SSS and NES sensation seeking scales, suggesting that perceptual curiosity involves seeking both knowledge and sensory experience. Divergent validity of the PC scale was demonstrated by minimal relationships with the STPI trait anger scale, and essentially zero correlations with the STPI trait anxiety and depression scales.
