The study of trait curiosity — individual differences in curious thoughts, feelings, and actions — sorts into two approaches. One looks downward by unpacking and differentiating trait curiosity, with an emphasis on curiosity’s facets, kinds, and parts. Another looks upward by locating trait curiosity within the larger structure of global personality traits. This article reviews research that looks upward by locating curiosity within modern models of Openness to Experience. Our review indicates (1) that most — but not all — models of Openness to Experience explicitly include curiosity-related facets, and (2) that they tend to favor curiosity’s academic and intellectual forms. In accordance with recent network-psychometric analyses, we propose that a broader sense of curiosity — captured by intellectual curiosity, intellectual interests, and variety seeking — emerges from a large pool of Openness to Experience inventories, and that these curiosity facets are central to the global trait. The literature that looks upward at curiosity would benefit from connecting to the diverse and expansive literature that looks downward at it, and network science models offer a fruitful strategy for building a hierarchical model of curiosity across these levels of abstraction.

对特质好奇心的研究-好奇的思想，情感和行为的个体差异-分为两种方法。一个人通过解开和区分特质好奇心向下看，着重于好奇心的各个方面，种类和部位。另一个向上看通过将特质好奇心定位在全球人格特质的更大结构中。本文通过对开放经验的现代模型中的好奇心进行定位，回顾了向上看的研究。我们的评论表明（1）大多数（但不是全部）“体验开放”模式明确包含了与好奇心相关的方面，以及（2）他们倾向于偏爱好奇心的学术和智力形式。根据最近的网络心理计量学分析，我们建议从大量的“开放经验”清单中产生一种更广泛的好奇心，这种好奇心是由智力好奇心，智力兴趣和寻求多样性所吸引的，而这些好奇心方面对于全球特征。
