Zusammenfassung

Wissbegierde, das Verlangen danach, die Welt zu verstehen, ist Triebkraft von persönlichem Wachstum, gesellschaftlichem Fortschritt und Innovation. Schon von klassischen Philosophen wurde Wissbegierde daher als positive Tugend gesehen. In der Psychologie gab es in den letzten hundert Jahren verschiedene Auffassungen davon, ob Wissbegierde ein Trieb, ein von der Situation hervorgerufener Zustand oder eine Persönlichkeitseigenschaft ist. Nicht zuletzt durch Beiträge der Neurowissenschaften wird alle Forschung nun zu einem schlüssigen Ganzen integriert, sodass man derzeit zwischen einem neugierigen Zustand, wissbegierigem Verhalten und Wissbegierde als negativem Gefühl des Mangels an Wissen unterscheidet. Wissbegierde kann als instrumenteller Wert gesehen werden, den es sich zweifellos lohnt zu fördern, denn Wissbegierde hängt mit vielen positiven Dingen wie beruflichem Erfolg, weniger Aggression und sogar mit Glück zusammen.
