青少年无聊与适应不良和消极的发展结果有关，但对高度无聊的流行和相关性知之甚少。从一个广泛的心理社会框架，本研究探讨了高无聊率和社会人口和上下文之间的相关性全国代表性样本的8日和10年级学生（N = 21,173; 51.8%女性）从监测未来的调查。结果表明，大约20%的青少年报告了高水平的无聊。那些更有可能报告高度无聊的人是八年级学生;女性;被认为是黑人，印第安人或美洲原住民/夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民的青年;农村青年;和社会经济地位较低的青年。多变量Logistic回归分析的结果显示，高无聊和学校，家长，同龄人，和课外环境的许多元素之间的显着关联，控制社会人口特征。研究结果突出了美国青年中普遍存在的高无聊，并可能有利于预防和干预工作，确定多个上下文关联与青少年无聊。
Adolescent boredom is associated with maladaptation and negative developmental outcomes, yet little is known about the prevalence and correlates of high boredom. Drawing from a broad psychosocial framework, the present study examined rates of high boredom and sociodemographic and contextual correlates among nationally representative samples of 8th and 10th graders (N = 21,173; 51.8% female) from the Monitoring the Future survey. Results indicate that approximately 20% of adolescents reported high levels of boredom. Those who were more likely to report high boredom were eighth graders; females; youth who identified as Black, Biracial, or Native American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander; rural youth; and youth of lower socioeconomic status. Results of multivariable logistic regression analyses show significant associations between high boredom and many elements of school, parent, peer, and extracurricular contexts, controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Findings highlight the pervasiveness of high boredom among American youth and may benefit prevention and intervention efforts by identifying multiple contextual associations with adolescent boredom.
