Citation : S.Mikaylov, Natalie. (2016). Curiosity and its role in cross-cultural knowledge creation. The International Journal of Emotional Education, 8 (1), 95-108.


Curiosity is on of the most common sense that human have. The impact of curiosity on intrinsic motivation, exploratory behavior and social engagement has recently received attention in career development and learning literature. Curiosity can be understood as a recognition, pursuit and intense desire to explore novel, challenging and uncertain events. It appears that cultural curiosity is not affected as much by cultural distance      
The most obvious step toward cultural knowledge creation is seeking information and culturally sensitive recommendations for appropriate actions from other members of one’s networks. This study participants also expressed curiosity regarding the cultures that were attractive to them in practical or entertaining senses. The most desirable were cultures located at a medium cultural distance, offering the best career and business prospects and fun/entertainment factors. Therefore, the students’ curiosity about a particular culture was influenced by their perception of cultural distance
