无聊倾向与各种形式的认知和情感失调有关，包括自我控制不良和走神(MW)，以及抑郁和攻击性。因此，了解无聊以及与之相关的认知和情感成分，是对抗无聊对心理健康影响的重要第一步。我们以1928名大学生为被试，调查了他们的厌烦倾向、自我控制、自我感觉、抑郁和攻击性，以探讨这些因素之间的关系。分层回归分析表明，自我控制对厌烦倾向有较强的负向预测作用。最后，当控制年龄和自我控制时，我们观察到无聊倾向和我们的其他兴趣测量之间的关系的幅度大幅下降。综上所述，这些结果暗示了无聊倾向与认知和情感失调之间的强烈关系，并表明个体的自我控制水平可以解释无聊、认知和情感之间关系的最大部分差异。
Boredom proneness has been linked to various forms of cognitive and affective dysregulation including poor self-control and mind-wandering (MW), as well as depression and aggression. As such, understanding boredom and the associated cognitive and affective components of the experience, represents an important first step in combatting the consequences of boredom for psychological well-being. We surveyed 1928 undergraduate students on measures of boredom proneness, self-control, MW, depression and aggression to investigate how these constructs were related. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that self-control operated as a strong negative predictor of boredom proneness. Finally, when controlling for age and self-control, we observed large decreases in the magnitudes of the relationships between boredom proneness and our other measures of interest. Together, these results imply a strong relationship between boredom proneness and cognitive and affective dysregulation, and show that individual levels of self-control can account for the lion's share of variance in the relationships between boredom, cognition, and affect.
