- Curiosity
- The tension is between curiosity as a foundational adaptive drive and curiosity as a liability when poorly regulated or directed toward unsafe or low-value targets.
This sourceFour experiments show curiosity drives people to expose themselves to aversive stimuli (even electric shocks) with no benefit — empirical demonstration that unchecked curiosity can lead to harm. RE-SOURCE for D17-148 (T5: curiosity as a liability when poorly regulated; 'curiosity killed the cat'). Replaces the unverifiable kashdan-steger-2007 book-chapter citation, whose closest real counterpart (Kashdan & Steger 2007, Motivation and Emotion) is about curiosity and well-being and does NOT support a curiosity-as-harm claim. Verified.
