IS BOREDOM PRONENESS ASSOCIATED WITH INTROSPECTIVENESS?

Social Behavior and Personality: an international journal, 2000
The relationship between boredom proneness and introspectiveness among a sample of French adults (N = 154) was investigated). The results indicated that highly boredom-prone individuals are also prone to increased introspectiveness. Also, highly self-focused personality is related to poor external, but not internal, stimulation.

Boredom Proneness--The Development and Correlates of a New Scale

Journal of Personality Assessment, 1986
This article reports the development, validation, and correlates of a self-report measure of boredom proneness. The 28-item Boredom Proneness (BP) Scale demonstrates satisfactory levels of internal consistency (coefficient alpha = .79) and test-retest reliability (r = .83) over a 1-week interval.
