Academic boredom, engagement and the achievement of undergraduate students at university: a review and synthesis of relevant literature (2018, background): “…and substance abuse, eating disorders, sexual promiscuity, dangerous driving and self-harm (Kass and Vodanovich, 1990; Stikney and Miltenberger, 1999; see also Dahlen et al., 2004, 2005; Kass et al., 2010; Mercer and Eastwood, 2010; LePera, 2011; Hodgkins and Racicot, 2013; Moynihan et al., 2015).”
Bored employees misbehaving: The relationship between boredom and counterproductive work behaviour (2011, background): “BP-ext individuals are more likely to experience anger, to score highly on trait anger scales, to display aggression and hostility, to lack honesty/humility, to experience a deficit in anger control, and to engage in unsafe/risky driving (Dahlen, Martin, Ragan, & Kuhlman, 2005 ; Dahlen, Martin, Rag”
Bestial boredom: a biological perspective on animal boredom and suggestions for its scientific investigation (2017, background): “The field of animal personality (‘behavioural syndromes’) might be ripe to explore boredom proneness, discovering whether similar correlations between boredom proneness and other traits exist in animals as in humans (Dahlen et al., 2005; Harris, 2000), and the extent of genetic versus environmental ”
The bored mind is a guiding mind: toward a regulatory theory of boredom (2018, background): “Lastly, findings that relate risk-taking behavior to boredom proneness (e.g., Dahlen et al., 2005; Kass et al., 2010) also demonstrate the capacity of boredom to motivate individuals to search for situations that will alleviate their experience of boredom, even if such situations are costly to them.”
Individual Differences in Risky Decision Making: A Meta‐analysis of Sensation Seeking and Impulsivity with the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (2014, background): “preferences over time is widely documented by personality studies of recreational risks (e.g., Adams & Moore, 2007; Dunlop & Romer, 2010; Dahlen et al., 2005; Hittner & Swickert, 2006; Johansson et al., 2009; Nelson et al., 2008; Frankenberger, 2004).”
The good of boredom (2018, positive): “In fact, studies that have found that boredom proneness is correlated with risk-taking activities (Dahlen et al., 2005; Kass et al., 2010) are indications of the ability of boredom to motivate individuals to search for situations that will alleviate boredom, even if such situations are harmful to th”
Driving anger in Spain (2007, background): “Furthermore, a number of studies have found that angry drivers engage more often in aggressive and dangerous behaviours (Dahlen et al., 2005; Deffenbacher et al., 1994, Deffenbacher, Lynch, Oetting, & Yingling, 2001).”
Boredom Proneness: Its Relationship with Subjective Underemployment, Perceived Organizational Support, and Job Performance (2010, background): “Criterion-Related Validity Research on the outcomes associated with trait boredom has been surprisingly sparse (see Dahlen et al. 2005, for a recent exception regarding unsafe driving behavior).”
