While there is a relatively rich literature measuring curiosity outside of sport, there is little research on measuring sport fans� curiosity. Based on Berlyne�s (1960) two dimensions of curiosity, the current research project aimed to develop a reliable and valid measurement scale for sport fans� specific curiosity. Convenience samples of university students were used. Three studies were used to develop the 11-item Sport Fan Specific Curiosity Scale (SFSCS) was developed. Specifically, the SFSCS consisted of three factors: specific information (5 items), general information (3 items), and sport facility information (3 items). The SFSCS was found to be a reliable and valid scale to measure sport fans� specific curiosity. The scale should be useful in predicting aspects of sport fan behavior for sport fans at various stages.
