Abstract
The study is devoted to preliminary adaptation of Russian-language version of Multidimensional State Boredom Scale. The sample consists of 365 persons, with 114 males (M=28,4) and 251 females (M=24,6) among them. It is shown that suggested version of the methods has good psychometric properties. All five scales and total scale have internal consistency from good to high. Validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by means of correlations with scales that theoretically are connected with the boredom construct. Revealed were expected negative correlations with psychological well-being, involvement, mindfulness, as well as positive correlation with neuroticism. Confirmatory factor analysis shows that the five-factor model of the state of boredom is acceptable. According to preliminary results, test-retest reliability of the questionnaire obtained during one month period is rather higher than expected for the situational indicator. Scale’s correlations with personal characteristics can also indicate that the methods measure not only the state of boredom, but also the tendency to be bored.
