Marina has been awarded a 5-year Leverhulme Trust Research Project Grant: “Curiosity Battery: Developing a new toolkit for primary school children”. Working with a Co-I at Stirling University, Dr Lily Fitzgibbon, and a team comprising a postdoc and two PhD researchers, we will develop and validate a multidimensional assessment battery of curiosity in primary-school-age children, and use it in longitudinal studies examining children’s academic achievement and psychological well-being. Stayed tuned for commencement of this exciting work in September 2024!
