The Effects of Stimulating State Epistemic Curiosity on State Anxiety and Performance in a Complex Computer-Assisted Learning Task.

Abstract

The study sought to: investigate the hypothesis that stimulating state epistemic curiosity within a complex Computer-Assisted Instruction(CAI) task would reduce state anxiety and improve performance; assess further the reliability and validity of the State Epistemic Curiosity Scale (SECS; Leherissey, 197lb); and integrate the findings within the theoretical framework of the Optimal Degree of Arousal concept.
