So as to effectively personalize a game design and gamified experiences in a learning context, the psychological characteristics of the students must be inexorably considered.

Heisser, Ronald – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2023
Curiosity is a fundamental impulse which propels human beings to seek, and discover satisfying answers to life's deep questions. Capturing small but memorable moments of personal discovery, I highlight an element of curiosity within everyone's control: one's choices to be open. I provide a series of personal anecdotes and analogies, to illustrate…

Nicole E. Keller; Carola Salvi; Emily K. Leiker; Matthias J. Gruber; Joseph E. Dunsmoor – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Curiosity can be a powerful motivator to learn and retain new information. Evidence shows that high states of curiosity elicited by a specific source (i.e., a trivia question) can promote memory for incidental stimuli (non-target) presented close in time. The spreading effect of curiosity states on memory for other information has potential for…

Sarah M. Stitzlein – Phi Delta Kappan, 2024
A civic society depends on people's ability to reason together, which requires them to seek and tell the truth. However, Sarah Stitzlein argues that schools spend too little time deliberately teaching students the value of honesty. Far from being simply a personal virtue, honesty enables citizens to think and act together for the benefit of all.…

Natasha Bourgoin – ProQuest LLC, 2026
University students with increased rates of reported perfectionism, anxiety, and depression, are vulnerable to non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). However, not all students with psychological distress engage in NSSI, suggesting protective factors may help to mitigate this risk. The present study examined the relation between perfectionism and NSSI,…

Jie Ma; Wenyuan Wei – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2023
Curiosity has long been extolled as a seed for employee creativity. This causality is plausible when considering curiosity as a stable trait. However, curiosity can also oscillate as a transitory state, thus complicating the causal sequence between such state curiosity and creativity. To clarify the causal ordering and achieve a refined…

Robert J. Sternberg – Roeper Review, 2024
This article discusses a problem in the field of giftedness--the meaning and deployment of giftedness in authoritarian systems, or in declining, failing, or pseudo-democracies. This problem exists for much of the world's population yet seems to be relatively little discussed. The article opens with a consideration of what the problem is. It then…

Anke Zeißig; Julia Kansok-Dusche; Saskia M. Fischer; Julia Moeller; Ludwig Bilz – Review of Education, 2024
Assumptions around the association between boredom and creativity are contentious. Although studies suggest positive effects of boredom, it is also considered a negative predictor of creativity. Researchers also assume that creativity reduces boredom, but boredom can also occur during creative tasks. In this review, we identify and systematise the…

Leonidas A. Zampetakis – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
In the last decade, research on the connection between curiosity and creativity has surged revealing a positive correlation. However, these findings are primarily based on cross-sectional studies, which do not establish the direction of the relationship between creativity and curiosity. Is curiosity the driving force behind creativity, or does…

Background: A range of psychotherapies are effective in managing an individual's personal reactions to stuttering and reducing the impact stuttering has on their lives. Many of these therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, have their origins in Stoicism, an ancient Greek philosophy founded in 301 BCE. Stoicism remains a relatively…
