通过介绍和综合关于无聊特征的研究结果，本文提出了一个关于无聊状态功能的理论解释。本文认为，无聊的状态应该被理解为一种功能性的情绪，既提供信息，又调节一个人的行为。无聊告诉人们一个令人不满意的情况的存在，同时，当当前的目标不再令人满意，吸引力或意义时，它会激励人们追求新的目标。无聊最终会促进运动，并恢复一个人的活动有意义且与其整体项目一致的看法。
By presenting and synthesizing findings on the character of boredom, the article advances a theoretical account of the function of the state of boredom. The article argues that the state of boredom should be understood as a functional emotion that is both informative and regulatory of one's behavior. Boredom informs one of the presence of an unsatisfactory situation and, at the same time, it motivates one to pursue a new goal when the current goal ceases to be satisfactory, attractive or meaningful. Boredom ultimately promotes both movement and the restoration of the perception that one's activities are meaningful and congruent with one's overall projects.
