Measuring Epistemic Weather Curiosity: Initial Development and Validation of an Individual Difference Questionnaire
Keyword(s):
This paper addresses work at the intersection of meteorology and the psychology of curiosity andlearning (Bolton et al. 2020; Stewart et al. 2015, 2018). Specifically, we report on thedevelopment and validation of the first self-report measure of epistemic (i.e., information-based)weather curiosity. Two studies derived 11 items measuring general interest in learning aboutweather and curiosity for the science behind weather. Psychometric properties and implicationsof the scale for use by meteorologists, educators, and academic researchers are discussed.
