Abstract

Boredom includes subjective experiences such as temporal stagnation, difficulty maintaining focus, and a lack of meaningful goals. Boredom is a common feeling that can strike anyone at any time. The primary goal of this research is to determine the extent to which boredom proneness, rumination, and mental wellbeing predict resilience. The study included 542 university students, 445 females and 97 males, aged 17 to 29. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics first, followed by correlation analysis. The next stage involved applying hierarchical regression analysis to the significant results. The analysis included gender and age as control variables. Following that, four models were tested, each with the concepts of boredom proneness, rumination, and mental wellbeing. The analysis revealed that boredom, rumination, and mental wellbeing accounted for 34 % of the total variance in resilience. Boredom can be alleviated by directing people away from monotonous routines and toward different interests on an intermittent basis. As a result, bored people can reduce their tendency to obsess over their thoughts, which benefits their mental health. Finally, it has the potential to assist individuals in achieving mental stability.

研究厌倦感、复原力、心理健康和反刍之间的联系

无聊包括主观体验，如时间停滞、难以保持注意力和缺乏有意义的目标。无聊是一种常见的感觉，任何人在任何时候都可能产生这种感觉。本研究的主要目的是确定无聊感、反刍和心理健康对复原力的预测程度。研究对象包括 542 名大学生，其中女性 445 人，男性 97 人，年龄在 17-29 岁之间。收集到的数据首先使用描述性统计进行分析，然后进行相关分析。下一阶段是对显著结果进行分层回归分析。分析将性别和年龄作为控制变量。随后，对四个模型进行了测试，每个模型都包含了厌烦倾向、反刍和心理健康的概念。分析结果显示，厌倦、反刍和心理健康占复原力总变异的 34%。通过引导人们摆脱单调的日常工作，间歇性地培养不同的兴趣，可以缓解无聊感。因此，无聊的人可以减少沉迷于自己想法的倾向，从而有益于他们的心理健康。最后，它还有可能帮助个人实现心理稳定。

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
