9 Abstract. Background : State boredom–the experience of boredom in the moment – is related to a number of psychosocial issues. Until the 10 recent creation of the Multidimensional State Boredom Scale (MSBS), research was constrained by the lack of a comprehensive, validated 11 measure. However, the MSBS could benefit from further evaluation. Aim : To more thoroughly validate the MSBS. Methods : In two studies, 12 participants were induced into a state of either boredom or non-boredom, and then completed the MSBS. Results : Discriminant analysis showed 13 that the full MSBS was able to correctly classify 68.1% (Study 2) – 84.1% (Study 1) of participants into their experimental condition. Based on 14 further DA analysis, a subset of eight items (a potential short form) is proposed. Differential item functioning (Study 1) found only one item to 15 which responding differed by gender. Discussion : Use of the MSBS, including the full scale versus the short form, is discussed. Which 16 experiential components of boredom may be particularly important for classifying bored individuals, and the issue of variability across boredom 17 manipulations, are also considered.
