Abstract
Cognitive and sensory curiosity and Arnett’s Criteria for Adulthood are explored as it relates to subjective well-being among 578 emerging adults. Hierarchical regression results reveal that both kinds of curiosity and being independent were strongly linked to subjective well-being. Curiosity and emerging adulthood theories are extended.
