  • The article reports that humans' curiosity is rooted in their inherent need to resolve uncertainty based on a study by Christopher Hsee et al., published in the journal "Psychological Science." Topics covered include humans' desire to know about things that may hurt them, the involvement of behavioral students in the study, and the possibility to resist morbid curiosity by imagining the outcome of what is being desired to know.
