In an age of information overload, curiosity is not just the thirst for knowledge but a powerful driver of engagement, influencing how we perceive challenges and stress.
Our research highlights that curiosity can amplify physiological responses, like heart rate, especially during stressful situations, making individuals more engaged despite potential discomfort.
While curiosity often leads to growth, unmet curiosity can create significant feelings of disappointment. It's a double-edged sword where knowledge pursuit brings both opportunities and risks.
Individuals low in curiosity perceive tasks as threats, often feeling a sense of relief when they can avoid these challenges, contrasting sharply with the more curious who seek them out.
