中文摘要:

      激发青少年对科学的好奇心是科技馆展品设计的重要目标，但目前对科技馆展品激发青少年好奇心水平的评价仍缺乏定量化的监测方法。本研究将心理学上对好奇心的相关研究引入对科技馆观众的研究，以五年级至初中一年级（10~13岁）的学生团体为研究对象，使用智能手表监测他们在参观展品时的情绪指数，结合主观量表，分析使用情绪指数预测青少年好奇心水平的可行性。在此基础上，本研究选取15件中国科技馆的基础科学展品，从学科领域、展示形式等6个维度细化展品的展示模式。采用非参数检验分析不同性别青少年的好奇心激发差异，以及展品的不同展示模式与激发青少年好奇心的关系，探索更能激发青少年好奇心的展品展示模式。基于研究结果，本研究对科技馆展品设计与开发提出如下对策建议：（1）增加展品对女孩的吸引力；（2）改进展品的互动方式，为观众提供更多自主探究、观察和思考的条件；（3）进一步改进多媒体演示方式，探索沉浸感更强、互动性更好的多媒体展示。

英文摘要:

      Stimulating the curiosity of adolescents is an important goal of the design of exhibits in science and technology museums，but evaluation of curiosity level of exhibits lacks quantitative monitoring methods. Research about curiosity in psychology is introduced into the field of visitor research in science and technology museums. Student groups from grade 5 to the first year of junior high school（aged 10 to 13）are taken as participants. Smartwatches are used to monitor their emotional indices while visiting. Combined with subjective scales，it has been verified that emotional indices can be used to predict the level of curiosity of participants. On this basis，15 exhibits showing basic science are selected from China Science and Technology Museum. The display mode of the exhibits is analyzed according to six dimensions，such as subject areas and display forms. Non-parametric tests are employed to analyze the differences in curiosity stimulation among participants of different genders and the relationship between display mode and curiosity of participants aroused by exhibits，identifying the display mode that more effectively arouses curiosity. Finally，suggestions for the design of exhibits are put forward：Enhance exhibits’appeal to girls. Improve the interactive methods of exhibits to provide more conditions for participants to explore，observe and think independently. Further improve the multimedia presentation methods and explore more immersive and interactive multimedia display means.
