The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between curiosity and well‐being in 18‐ to 29‐year‐old individuals. In a group of 378 working emerging adults, a survey battery was administered to measure cognitive and sensory curiosity, achieved emerging adulthood, and‐being, as well as select theoretically relevant demographic variables (e.g., gender, ethnicity, income).Moderated hierarchical regression analysis revealed that among the achieved adulthood criteria, achieving family capacity, role transition, and biological transition had positive effects on well‐being, while achieving independence, interdependence, and norm compliance demonstrated a null effect. Cognitive and sensory curiosity and their interaction also had a positive effect on well‐being. The contributions to emerging adulthood and curiosity theories and their empirical and practical implications are discussed.

新兴成年人的好奇心和幸福感

这项研究的目的是探讨18至29岁个体的好奇心与幸福感之间的关系。在一组378名正在工作的新兴成年人中，进行了一系列调查，以衡量认知和感官好奇心，实现新兴成年和幸福感以及选择理论上相关的人口统计学变量（例如性别，种族，收入）。分析表明，在达到的成年标准中，实现家庭能力，角色转变和生物转变对幸福感有积极影响，而实现独立，相互依赖和遵守规范则没有效果。认知和感官的好奇心以及它们之间的相互作用也对幸福感产生了积极的影响。
